7 Powerful Tips For Streaming on a Low-End PC

Streaming on a low-end pc can cause a lot of stream performance issues. We are going to try to fix stream lag, dropped frames, game lag or game stuttering. To stream with a slow processor and an old graphics card, we'll have to fix some things that lower performance and we'll also have to set up very low stream settings. But! If you follow all these steps, I'm certain you'll at least see a difference. Enjoy!

What machine are you streaming on? Let me know down here! 🤔

Amazing video. I had stream-breaking issues a week ago that I got somewhat under control, but not all the way. This video has elevated my stream to smooth and stutterless perfection.

[bigthicc]

Thank you so much man! This helped a lot. I tried to stream Dirt 2.0 didn't understand why I was getting only 15fps when on ultra-low settings when I was playing on high when not streaming. Now my friends can watch me fly into a tree in glorious 60fps.

I switched from laptop streaming on an Xbox from a capture card to a single gaming pc. This video helped a lot.

[Raven.Bloodrot]

I have a pretty mid range PC didn't really feel like I needed to do any of this but still applied some of the things here. I mostly play RPGs so setting the FPS to 30 I feel like will help a lot and running OBS as admin definitely will help.

[kewrie]

❤️❤️❤️Man, your videos helped me a lot...even though, i don't have good pc for streaming ..i watch your videos and learn stuffs....i've made everything ready...just need a good PC for streaming!

[TheGrader]

Bro! You are so helpful. Everyone watching this should show their appreciation. My man here doesn't patronise, doesn't act cocky and is clear and succint. Most other tutorial videos make you feel stupid or confusing.
I love you TVN, helped me so much over the past year or so. Keep up good work brother!

I'm a couple years late, but thank you for the tip about swapping to OBS Studio. I noticed my CPU usage would sit around 22% now compared to Streamlabs OBS which would sit anywhere from 38% to 45%! That's an absolutely absurd difference of resources that can be spent on the game instead of the software while maintaining the same quality. I originally used Streamlabs because I liked the UI more, but it's sure as hell not worth it.

[Aaron_Kirk]

Thank you. I have used your vids for all my previous SLOBS use. I am now ready to make to move to OBS Studio.
Your master course on this subject will be extensively used to help me in this endeavor.

I found ur channel randomly and now watching ur videos has become a part of my daily routine

GUYS! I've been struggling with in-game latency for the past week and have been troubleshooting with lots and lots of obs settings. While most online tips do make a great improvement, the last thing that I did to make the game playable on a setup with obs and Geforce Now was... stupid, but it worked. I just made the preview in OBS as small as possible. To the point where it's less than 100 pixels wide (or just as small as you can get it). I don't know what happens, probably the GPU doesn't have to render and send as much data, or whatever, I don't know and I don't care, as long as I can stream in peace. Hope this may help those of you out there starting with low end pcs. And it's not inconvenient either, you can just build your scene however you want, lock it, and adjust the OBS modules to make the preview small. Incredibly easy tip, and it's made a huge difference to my performance in-game compared to any other setting taken individually. Good luck, and Have fun! :)

this was all very easy to understand. trying to get started streaming and this is a big help. i might try just recording videos first cuz i've heard thats easier but this video definitely brought me closer to being able to stream. thank you

[senryuwhistro]

bro you are a legend i was trying to stream for a month now and all the things you told has fixed all of them. Thanks man

[whyeverything]

I am here in 2021 looking at this video and this helped A LOT, i have a low end pc and every time i stream Valorant it lags because of the program and settings i used for streaming. I got 10fps at first but after this video i got 60 fps. I hope to see you as one of the top people for helping people with their streams!

[FortnaytGad]

thanks a lot.. you just told me what ive been doing that is why my stream has low quality.. thanks thanks.

[soildud]

my pc is a laptop that i got from hell

[yohanesburg]

This is the exact Video I've been looking for! thank you so much, I'll make the switch when I get home

[Windoxxed]

You taught me about ways to access and turn off programs more than helping me stream, thanks. I can use this info in the future.

[dadolphinplayz]

thank you for this guide! i can now finally have my model up at a 60fps stream while my games are still running at 120 fps

[danielmoya]

This toaster, you got me on that one 😂
