Hey! I've been wanting to stream at twitch . tv for a while, but I've had a few problems in the past with quality and basically just setting it up. What I mean by that is that whatever I stream is VERY low quality, and I feel like I have both the hardware specs and the internet to do so, so why won't it work? I will drop my specs down below, and maybe you all can help figure out the problem. I've tried streaming multiplayer matches in low games, such as Counter Strike: Global Offensive, to high-end games, such as Battlefield 4.
EDIT: Recording Battlefield ended up being VERY laggy with multiple frame drops, but CS:GO by itself(offline) didn't experience most, if any issues.
EDIT 2: Should I overclock my GPU? Or I heard a capture card would work, but that it also wouldn't work because it does the encoding on the computer anyways...
Alienware M17X Gaming Laptop:
RAM: 24 GB (Miscellaneous RAM)
Memory: 1TB
Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 675M 2GB
Processor: 3rd Generation Intel Core i7-3740QM 2.70 GHz Quad-core
Operating System:Microsoft Windows 10 (64 bit)
Internet Connection:
Download Speed: 30 MB/s
Upload Speed: 5 MB/s
If these specs for some reason aren't well enough, I can always upgrade my GPU to:
nVidia GTX 660M
nVidia GTX 675M
nVidia GTX 680M
AMD Radeon 7970M
But unofficially, I can also get a GTX 960, GTX 970, GTX980...
or at least that's what I've heard from the Alienware Forums. The only thing I have "upgraded" is the RAM, but I have not changed any other hardware on this machine, considering that the graphics card isn't a regular PC one.
My budget for new equipment is around $150-$250, or even $300. But please just give me the possible solutions/prices/option I have available. Thank you very much!
Also, for those of you hating on my gaming laptop; I know I could've gotten a PC with a 1080 for the cost of my laptop, but I love to have my computer mobile, so that's the reason
