I have been streaming somewhat successfully with OBS using onboard graphics. Would any card give marked boost in performance? Or should I sit and wait for a 1650/60 Super to magically appear? I am familiar with Turing being far superior to the Pascal architecture, and the Super(s) having it. I just cannot bring myself to pay $300 for those antiquated used cards (my budget says no too hahah). I found a 1050Ti reasonably priced, and can JUST afford it, but haven't jumped because it runs on Pascal. Would the TI give enough of a performance boost to warrant the $$$? Would it enable us to dual stream (YT+FB simultaneously)? Or should I wait for the aforementioned 16xxS? Thoughts? Advice? The floor is open....
A little more background into our setup/stream: We're using 2 Logitech C615 webcams into either our old OBS rig of an i5 core & 12gb ram (which worked to a point), or the newly cobbled i7/16gb machine (test run this Saturday). 'New' rig is a stock Dell Optiplex 990 with the exception of maxed ram and a new ssd. Both have LinuxMint XFCE. We stream our weekly racing show (radio broadcast), no extra resource hoggers like games, just OBS goodies: browser source(s), pics (slideshow), text, maybe a short video clip and an mp3 file or two.
