This is my PC build :P my internet connection is : http://www.speedtest.net/result/2702123799.png Im from romania and i make the best till Amsterdam to see my connections till there where HASD.TV has its local servers :P

So this is one of my videos but when plyaing Sc2 low settings with some friends on skype :P so the problem is when i try to stream star wars the old republic its not lagging but my cpu usage goes 100% ... and my stream looks like shet ... '

All im asking is if i can stream sc2 or other games in HD or a little good ... hope somewone can help me :o3 i really want to stream

dont know why my cpu goes all up like hell :(( .... hope somewone can help me :P

Streaming SC2 is a very different task from streaming a game like SWTOR. SC2 doesn't really have a lot of times where the full screen is constantly in motion, so it doesn't actually stress the encoder very hard. SWTOR, on the other hand, the full screen is almost constantly in motion, and this will stress out the encoder a lot. So, for the stream looking bad when you switch to SWTOR, that's because 2500 bitrate is not very much for 720p45fps in a game where the full scene is constantly in motion. You want around 3000-3500 bitrate for that game at that resolution/FPS in my opinion.

I am surprised that you say your CPU usage maxes out, though. 2600k is not a weak CPU. Your log file doesn't indicate something like hardware being too stressed, was that a log from when you were streaming SWTOR? Maybe SWTOR is a lot more CPU heavy than I thought, perhaps I should DL it and check it out for myself...

Yep when i stream swtor it gets full ... the game is preaty big with lots of players so thats why i think was full :P , and my pc sounds bad with them :))

But when i close or alt tab it gets normal again :o3 ... maybe is something wrog with my hardware ?

And whath settings should i use for my sc2 stream i mean all of them beucase im not a experts on settings so i need big help :)) and +++ at the advance whath i put scene buffering time i dont know whath to pur there

If somewone can make me a settings for sc2 or other games i will be glad :o3 if you can :P

I mean, your settings look pretty good...I usually recommend CBR instead of VBR, and either 40 or 48 fps instead of 45, but other than that, your log looks fine and I don't really see a reason to change any of your other settings off the top of my head. Maybe try 30fps and see if that helps load at all?

Can you look at task manager and see what is using all your CPU when this happens? It just seems weird that you're having CPU problems like this...your system should be fine.

I think I will download SWTOR again this week and look into it myself. It's possible that game brings even high end systems to a crawl. I remember it being fairly unoptimized

ok so i will try streaming swtor again and post it here after :P
