Amd ryzen 5 5600X
Your current CPU is an AMD Ryzen 3 3100. You're experiencing issues with streaming and gaming simultaneously. Upgrading to an AMD Ryzen 5 5600X might help with gaming performance. Would you like a recommendation?
You're likely streaming at a higher resolution than 3100. The 5600X is a significant improvement, so it should work well at most current settings.
Consider options priced at 5600 or 5700X. 5600X offers a slight price advantage over 5600 while matching performance within a 3% range. If prices match, choose the 5600X. Good discounts exist for the 5700X depending on your location—watch for those. Have you thought about using your GPU for streaming?
It’s around 150 USD at the moment, which makes me think I should buy it while it’s affordable.
When you need something now, the 5600 costs $135 on Newegg. The 5700X fell to $200 recently. A $150 price for a 5600X around Black Friday and Boxing Day isn't a good deal. Actually, if you visit a Microcenter, the 5800X is $200 USD: https://www.microcenter.com/product/6302...t-included
You seem to be experiencing performance problems with your CPU, causing stuttering, lag, and freezing. Streaming or recording works smoothly on your GPU, even with lower settings. It looks like the issue is related to CPU limitations. What GPU are you using?
