MOBO: ASUS M5A97 R2.0
CPU: AMD FX-8370
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 950
RAM: 16gb
Internet is Centrylink
40 down 3-4 upload
(small town and this is the fastest available and the only ISP)
I used to stream on Twitch when I lived in a bigger town with faster internet and I know that my current pc setup can stream 720 @30 fps with no problem. I have streamed Elderscrolls Online, Neverwinter, Grand Theft Auto V, Battlefield V and various other games. Now, with slower internet uploads I get about 40-50 % dropped frames using both OBS and Streamlabs OBS on Twitch and even on Youtube gaming.
Question is, there is nothing I can do to upgrade internet speed as this is the best available, would upgrading my pc help at all? And if so what would be the most help to upgrade? GPU, CPU or what? I do know that the CPU I have is the best I can put on the M5A97 and if I upgrade GPU I would need new MOBO as well as different RAM and well, everything.
I am a disabled veteran and I have a very limited income to upgrade anything. I guess if I let all other bills go for one month I can come up with maybe $1000 or so to spend.
Help, please? What should I do? I know that people will want to tell me to just not bother with trying to stream at all with such low upload speed but, I want to try. What should I do?
