Hello friends,
I'm looking to build a new PC for the purpose of capturing my desktop together with a camera input overlaid over it (like streamers do) for the purpose of making video tutorials. I'm not intending to stream ever :)
I'm looking at the Ryzen 3700x CPU and also at the Nvidia RTX2060 Super graphics card.
I'm intending to record videos locally of 1080p 30fps in good quality.
The software that I'll be running besides OBS uses the CPU mostly but very lightly, it could use a more only under strain as when completing a task for a few seconds. (think of running an effect in photoshop for example) they will also use some of the GPU for some tasks, very lightly again, usually the cheapest graphics card does the job. I will not be recording any game play.
I'll also use a camera with an HDMI capture card like Camlink, would that take some CPU decoding the video? i'll also have OBS chroma keying the green screen behind me if it matters for the CPU usage.
My question is, would you think that in anyway that CPU (or even a better one like 3900x) could suffice? or I'll have to purchase a good graphics card as well? I'm asking because of the price difference, I could get the PC first and run tests (as it would be a custom build) and then purchase the graphics card later on and add it, but I might just get it all at once if the probability of using only a CPU successfully is very low.
I've also read that the CPU gives the best x264 quality or the same quality and smaller file size? Is that true? I am interested of getting the smallest files possible while keeping the quality very very good.
I've also learned that the new Nvidia RTX series cards have a dedicated NVENC encoder which could be helpful taking the strain off the CPU? but I'm not sure it won't be an overkill and if the CPU wont be enough to handle everything by itself, That's why I'll appreciate your advice!
Many thanks in advance,
Roy.
