Hi Gang,
New to the forums and have been wanting to stream but my current PC doesn't cut it for my liking. I'm a stickler for ideal configurations and high performance and have been using OBS which has been great so far! Thanks for the hard work.
That being said this is what I have and I'm trying to figure out how to make it work the best.
Gaming PC:
I5 3570k OC to 4.2GHZ
8GB RAM
Pleanty of SSD's
24inch 120hz BenQ gaming monitor (primary for gaming)
2x 27inch 2560x1440 mintors (just additional monitors)
gtx 580 sli (each has 2x dual dvi-d and mini hdmi connector)
I want to encode with a second PC because frankly I can't play BF4 or resource intensive games while encoding at a decent quality or higher frames without taking a huge hit to FPS. That being said I have a new laptop and wondering if it's capable.
Laptop for encoding:
4th Gen Intel® Core™ i5-4300U Processor (1.9 GHz, 3M Cache)
12.5" HD (1366x768) Anti-Glare WLED-backlit
4GB DDR3
128GB Mobility Solid State Drive
Intel® Integrated HD 4400 Graphics
Questions:
1. Can this laptop handle 1080p 30fps encoding or 720p 60fps for encoding?
2. Can I use the Avermedia Extremecap U3 to run the signal from my desktop (using an active splitter or something) to the laptop so I can get the signal there to encode and stream?
3. Would I be better off getting rid of my sli 580's for a 780ti which is a bit better in performance and has more outputs? Does this even matter?
4. Would I better off getting a 6core I7 and new MOBO and RAM?
Money obviously matters but i'm not broke, would just rather not dump $2k to make this work the way I want it to. Buying a second desktop isn't an option due to lack of space. :)
Can't figure this stuff out, done a ton of reading and can't find anyone with a setup that I'm thinking.
Any help or suggestions are much appreciated!
Thanks!
