is a i7-3770 and its internal GPU powerful enough to stream 720p with obs? or will i need a dedicated GPU?

I don't know which i7-3770 (there are 4 variants), but that's definitiely more than enough. I have a i7 too and it is basically idling with 2 sources and recording. I don't expect any differences with streaming instead of recording.

Though I have said OBS to use my GPU it didn't do so.

One thread at 80% or all of them?
