Is there a slight chance I can stream with this rig?

I would like to join the streamer, but this old rig seems not allow me to do so

Spec:

CPU: Intel Core2Duo E8400 3.0GHz (OC to 3.1)
RAM: DDR2-800 4GB
Display: nVidia GeForce GTX550Ti (little bit OC)

if I try to stream, it lags like fuck, 100% unplayable

and my poor connection:

for some stupid reason Fibre connection is cheaper than that shit, but there is no optical fibre conencted to my home

yeah, this thing is cheaper, monthly cost halved, speed increase like WTF so damn jelly

CPU isnt powerful enough, I recommend an i5 sandybridge or better.

You might be able to stream 480p at 15FPS. Try that with a bitrate of 500kbps and the preset set to XSplit Default. If that still kills your performance too much, you'll need to get a better CPU. Your upload is a bottleneck as well, but you definitely don't have the CPU power to stream 720p+ anyways.

Does display card affect too?

If I get a new motherboard with i5 / i7, I can stream without lagging the game?

streaming is mostly dependent on cpu and ram, your current GPU seems good enough.

An i7 is overkill for streaming, an i5 3570k overclocked to around 4.5GHz is more than enough for 720p and can handle 1080p if you set things up right. You don't really have the bandwidth to stream 720p right now though.

If you use dxtory its highly dependent on your graphics card.

I dunno about CPU and stuff but your upload speed looks kind of low for streaming...

should be fine though for 480p and 1v1....

I saw my isp are doing some fibre construction downstairs

I can have super speed in the following weeks finally

Porygon you try and stream with Xfire. I use Xfire and find it less resource intensive then Xsplit.

Should i just attack move to get there? I might get there easier. Like sovs do

I tried xFire, streamed a game, still lag like fuck, can't control shit
and the streaming quality is (facepalm)

I will try to OC a little bit more, ~~if still lag, I wait for the new CPU :/~~

OC to 3.6 GHz, now it is possible, just a little lag yay
I would try 3.7GHz next time

3.7GHz is completely OK, the only problem left is the damned connection, would be solved in Feb

E8400's hit 4Ghz with ease.

The only way to know if you can stream is to try it.

Xfire broadcasting is terrible. Your best bet is to try Open Broadcast Software and see how that goes, since it's probably the least hardware-intensive of the streaming clients.
