Not sure if this has already been asked but whats people prefered software for recording or broadcasting mainly broadcasting so on hitbox or twitch. I have been using OBS mainly but keeping getting a lot of buffering on my streams and got some dropped frames last night. I have been going through threads and forums of the issue but haven't seem to come up with much of a permanent fix. So i stumbled across X Split not used for years so thought id give the free version a go again, and its not too bad..
But what do people think is better to use OBS Or X Split
Thanks
also my pc spec in case someone can help with settings.

AMD FX -6100 6 core cpu 3.3GHZ
12gb DDR3 ram

I would choose XSplit as you have pretty good specs to run it. My PC is to bad to record like this but i have managed to do some live streams on it on certain games and i can tell you it is great!
