You would need a program called MSI after burner to monitor GPU usage - but considering your cpu is buckling right now, you don't have to do that.
To me, it looks like to stream H1z1 you'll need to do one of the following, ranging from least ideal/least effort-cost to most ideal/most effort-cost:
1. Lower the settings that require cpu usage as much as possible, even stream at lower resolution (free!)
2. Buy an aftermarket cooler and overclock for a boost in performance (not ideal, but cheap, only 25 dollars)
3. Buy an 8320 processor which comes with 1 extra physical core and 2/simulated cores (after selling your 6300, this is 2nd cheapest, maybe around 50 dollars)
4. Buy an intel processor, which requires a new motherboard + windows reinstall. (You don't need an i7 to stream effectively [though it is technically ideal, just terribly expensive], but even if you went with just an i5, this would cost about 250 at the cheapest, 300 if you went with overclockable components)
I've tried to go on Completely Lowest possible, With also going in the UserOptions files of the Folder and customizing Effects through there, Still encoutered thee Same issue when going live.
Also update, My cpu is at about 28% not 100% when Im just playing the game I typed that wrong, It only goes up to 100% when I go live.
I dont personally think a Aftermarket cooler is going to fix my problem.
I personally am Leaning towards option 3) But I assume you mean an 8350 8 Core? I didnt see an 8320.
8350 Going for 150 Isnt bad, Also with thee faact that I am hitting about 7 out of my 8Gbs as someone mentioned I assume buying another G.Skill stick with the new Processor would be a Great idea as well?!
