1. your setup you are thinking is backwards. your PCIE capture card will need to be in the desktop PC and your gaming PC will need to be your laptop with a cloned display to a hdmi out to be captured to the streaming PC (desktop)

2. laptops make aweful streaming PCs. Enough said on that alone.

Bump

please don't bump after just 45 minutes. if you bump, do it after a day and you should have more infomation. just bumping a thread is looked down upon. add more information to your original post instead.

I would have to disagree my laptop alone can stream better than my rig for some reason that's why I want a capture card

a PCIE capture card will not work in a laptop. a USB 3.0 would be the best you could do and I would strongly recommend USB 3.0 and not USB 2.0.

what are the specs of each and please post a logfile from each streaming the same game and same aera in the game if you can. This way we can compare apples to apples.

The only time when I've seen a laptop beat out a deskop is with a desktop i3 and a laptop i7 to which the desktop i7 will perform similar to low level a desktop i5, if that makes sense.

If you have a full i7 in your laptop, i.e. a quad core plus hyperthreading, then its conceivable that it might not suck as an encoding PC. You'd also need a USB 3.0 capture device.

What's wrong with your desktop that you can't just use game capture?

Btw, when I run through the forums looking for posts to read and possibly help, I do all the threads with zero responses first. So when you bump it, I actually pass over it, because if it has 1 response to me that means someone is already helping you.
