Which Streaming Platform Uses the Most PC Resources? OBS vs TikTok Live Studio vs Meld
In this video, I compare which streaming platform uses the most PC resources using an objective test based on real FPS.
To make it as fair as possible:
I use Ratchet & Clank with graphics settings maxed out.
I measure the game's base FPS with no streaming programs open.
I use MSI Afterburner to monitor performance.
I open OBS Studio, TikTok Live Studio, and Meld Studio one by one.
I compare how many FPS the game loses with each platform active. This way, we avoid relying on individual hardware and use a clear and comparable reference:
👉 how many FPS each streaming program takes while you play.
