TviQEmmaWatsonYou just said that your AMD processor did 90 FPS ingame while streaming meanwhile i got the i5 and i get 240 / 150 on midAndKennethGood point though. Intel processers generally tend to have a little less grunt for the price but handle media encoding, rendering ect. much better than similar AMD processers. If you are looking to stream I can personally vouch for the i5 3570K / similar model from haswell taking it like a champ with no issues.Actually, the fx-8350 utterly destroyed the 3570k when streaming.
I get nearly no frame drop if I'm recording using direct game capture through obs. If you are capturing the window or the whole desktop, you
a) Are doing it wrong
b) Will get frame lag. Full stop.
