When I play most games on Discord, my friends comment that the stream feels very choppy, showing only about one frame every ten seconds. It wasn’t always this way—I’m not sure what changed since I haven’t made any major adjustments to software or hardware. I’ve streamed simple titles like "Forager" or "Risk of Rain" without issues. However, with more demanding games such as Witcher or PUBG, the quality drops significantly. On my end, it still works well for me, and my system’s CPU and GPU usage stays around 90% during streaming, which is normal. I have ample RAM too. Any advice would be appreciated; I’ve tried tweaking stream settings, disabling hardware acceleration in Discord, and adjusting packet priority, but nothing has helped much.

Staying in the high 90s is unusual. Consider upgrading your GPU's fan settings to something more powerful.

Sorry, I meant the usage is around the 90%, with a temperature near 70°C. I've observed that this level of resource consumption is typical.
