Hey everyone,

I’m running into a big performance issue when streaming and I’m trying to figure out what’s bottlenecking my setup.

Specs:

CPU: Ryzen 5 5500

GPU: RTX 4060

RAM: 32GB

Streaming setup:

Streaming at 720p on TikTok

Using my phone as a webcam via USB

Using Nvidia broadcast for:

Mic noise removal

Background replacement (webcam)

Using Crowd Control connected to both the game and TikTok

Running Tikfinity in a browser for TikTok integration

Problem: When I play Elden Ring normally, I get a stable 60 FPS on medium settings.

But when I start streaming with everything running, my FPS drops heavily to around 20–30.

What I’m trying to figure out:

Is this mainly a GPU bottleneck from NVIDIA Broadcast (especially background removal)?

Could the browser (Tikfinity) + Crowd Control be hitting my CPU hard?

What should I prioritize lowering or disabling to keep both smooth gameplay and stream quality?

I’d really appreciate any advice or similar experiences — especially from people using NVIDIA Broadcast or streaming with multiple integrations.

Thanks.
