I wasn't even aware such a thing existed; I just stumbled upon it through some Twitch recommendations and decided to go with the free version of OBS. What exactly is the name of that software? I need to head over to YouTube to see some tutorials on how to actually use it properly.
Also, I should probably mention that the entire PC starts lagging—it's nothing catastrophic, but you can definitely feel the slowdown.
Greetings,
I wouldn't call myself a hardware pro, but I’m certainly not a complete amateur either. Currently, I am running an Intel Core i5-3570K overclocked to 4.3 GHz paired with an Nvidia GeForce GTX 600 series card (900 MHz core / 1250 MHz memory / 1GB VRAM). My plan is to stream Overwatch 2 on Twitch, but here is the dilemma: my monitor is connected via DVI at 1080p, while an HDMI cable runs to my TV so I can switch over to OBS to monitor the stream quality and performance metrics (FPS, upload speeds, etc.). The moment I start streaming at 720p 60 FPS, OBS triggers a warning about excessive resource usage within one or two minutes. Everything heats up so rapidly that my CPU fan immediately kicks into maximum speed. Is the bottleneck caused by my CPU cooling, or am I simply being crippled by insufficient video memory?🙂
