I have heard that you need about 1Mb/s upload to ensure a 720p stream. Download speed doesn't matter. Check your actual upload speed using something like http://speedtest.net/. ADSL 2+ is generally ~0.8 Mb/s as far as I'm aware. I switched to Annex M (thank you Internode) and now I get a bit over 1 Mb/s.
That would be expected, wouldn't it. Your computer has to process more information as soon as you are using a capture tool. Lower your graphics settings will fix the problem, though you'll probably want two lots of settings, one for streaming and one for when you play.
I'm already playing on Low settings T_T any other suggestions?
