Question / Help Is Intel Core i7 6700 good to stream in Full HD? (2PC)

[kroolikowy]

Hello
Same as in Topic. Is Intel Core i7 6700 good to stream in Full HD in 2PC set up (Ofc I7 in second PC).
I have Elgato HD60 Pro + I5 6500 now, it will be a lot better with this I7?

Yes, though if you're streaming to Twitch the 3500 Kbps bitrate limit is often not enough to make a 1080p stream look good regardless of your hardware.

Im streaming on Hitbox, Im recording to Yt too soo it will be good anyway i guess :)
So u recommend to change it?

Stable 720@60 will be good too. At this moment with elgato on, on 720@60 procesor has like 80 90 of usage ;/

If you are streaming to hitbox, and your internet allows you could use HW encoding, but you will need higher bitrate for same quality, that will use nearly zero CPU processing. You can try doing a few recordings with the same bitrate that you use to stream and test quality, at least in my case quicksync gives quality near "very fast" x264 preset.
