Previous problem: Twitch streaming Valorant was resulting in extremely lagging stream; almost a slide show.
Cause: 100% CPU utilization, but was solved by (1) lowering game FPS from 144 to 60, to match monitor's maximum refresh, and (2) lowering Streamlabs OBS encoding from / 720p 60 FPS / 6,000 kbps, to / 720p 30 FPS / 3,000 kbps. Resulting CPU utilization went from 100% to ~70%.
Question: I proposed to the streamer that they run CPU-Z to find exact model of installed RAM kit, and then purchase a matching 8GB DDR3 RAM kit, totally 16. Or should they add 16GB kit, not necessarily a matching brand, and bring total system RAM up to 24 GB? I'm open to any other suggestions.
specs: intel core i5-4690k / 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 / GTX 750 Ti / Seagate 2TB HDD / 1080 60Hz display
game: valorant
stream: twitch / 720p @ 30 FPS / 3,000 kbps bitrate
