Thoughts and Ratings so far
Although Facerig s a great idea it will requre i verry high ehd machine in order to run proerly,
I unerstant it is still in beta faze but when i try to use in OBS or Xsplit while stream or even not streaming it slows down everything and starts to glitch out and not respond or just outright crash

so i'd have do give it a D+ rating as of roight now...
it could be less recorce intesive and manny imrovements could be made includiing coustomising the frame rate/senativity tracking and even a 64 bit version

i am curtly running 1.7GHz up to 2.7GHz AMD Elite Quad-Core A8-5545M Accelerated Processor AMD Radeon HD 8510G graphics with up to 2147MB total graphics memory with 8GB DDR RAM ine internal TB hd and 3 2TH external hd's win 8.1

I am on a bootcamped Win8.1 Mac Pro (3,1), with a Raedon HD5870, and 6 GB of DDR2 RAM. Not exactly a powerhose by modern "1334" standards, but no slouch.

Runs just fine alongside OBS and the games I'm streaming. What you may need to do is go into the settings (gear icon right hand bar) and reduce the frame rate and processing priority FaceRig is running at. At unlimited FPS FaceRig will eat 50% of the processing time of my 8 cores, limited to 30 across all options it drops to about 30%. I haven't pushed it to low priorty, but its something to consider. If you are using FaceRig like me to drop an avatar in the corner you don't actually need super high fedelity response to get good results.

After all at that point you're basically wearing a muppet, so muppet-like jerky and exaggerated movements are fine. You just have to play to that style in your physicality.

Realistically most webcams don't run at 60 FPS anyways, you're lucky if you get one that runs a solid 30, and certainly not most built in garbage on laptops. If you don't have a WebCam running at 60, there is no reason to let FaceRig run at an un-capped frame rate.
