Question / Help Help with streaming using NVENC

[Philip David]

Hi Guys

Right I'm try to do many streaming in the same computer like 4 or 6, but when I try to use NVENC look like I do not able to streaming more than 2 streaming on the same time like 3 or 4 is that limitation of NVENC? also what is the difference between quality and performance from quick sync and x264.

PS I did already streming of at same time using x264 but the use of CPU is very high and im try to find a way to make it lower to make more on the same computer.

My computer is i7 5820k with capture cards of avermidia c975 and elgato Game Live HD and the graphic card im using to test NVENC is GT 720 but if the problem is that i can buy better Graphic card.

Tks for everyone

Yes, it's a limitation of NVENC. Both NVENC and Quick Sync are inferior to x264.

Right Tks and one more question if I get a better Graphic card this will help me in anything like less CPU using or better image send or will be like the same as im capture the image with capture card?

No, a better discrete GPU won't really help as it doesn't handle the encoding work.
