Dear OBS community,
my name is Philipp and since few weeks I'm working as a eSports project manager for a professional football club. We stream some of our games at Twitch and I take care about that.
Last times I was using a Mac Pro 2013 (ME253LL/A) and noticed that the Mac began to "sweat" already. I mean there were no big lags as long as I did not anything else than streaming on the Mac but I was surprised tho.
However I want you guys to try to answer me my actual question: Which Mac is the best one for streaming? Since we use a Elgato Game Capture and Elgato does not provide drivers we have to screen record the Elgato content from the Elgato Mac App which is kinda annoying and probably uses a lot of GPU power (not sure about that). On top of that we have some face cams, overlays, etc.
1. Mac Pro 2013 ME253LL/A 4x 3,7GHz Xeon, 12GB RAM & 2x D300 FirePro Graphics
2. Mac mini 2018 6x 3,2GHz i7, 16GB RAM & Intel UHD 630 Graphics
3. MacBook Pro 2017 4x 2,9GHz, 16GB RAM & Radeon Pro 560
Thanks in advance for your feedback guys!!
Edit: I'm also streaming + 2x recording the OBS content at the same time (1x recording with overlay and 1x recording just the gameplay).
Best regards from Germany,
Philipp
