It appears many users experience improved performance with dual-channel memory versus single-channel. High CPU and memory consumption is unusual, particularly when streaming with 8400 and 8GB RAM. You should identify which application is consuming resources and assess whether terminating it is safe. Using a weaker GPU like GT1030 (or older models such as HD6780) can enhance video encoding performance compared to Intel HD graphics. I strongly suggest upgrading to a dedicated GPU if possible, as it will significantly aid video encoding. Ensure your streaming application supports hardware encoding.
GT1030 lacks a hardware encoder, making it essentially useless. Previous HD 6xx cards featured a weak VCE hardware encoder that might not be supported in OBS anymore. Adding dual channel could improve performance slightly by 5-15%. For software encoding with x264, gains are likely minimal, though you can adjust settings to balance quality and resource use.
This appears to be a question about the origin of the recording, whether it's from a local source or related to Twitch.
If you record at 100k bitrate, it seems crystal clear only in certain games—like Cod, Forza H4, and Rocket League—while Twitch struggles. Other titles perform better locally, but those three games deliver top quality most of the time.
