Question / Help Is this computer good enough to stream?

[RobinHood_3]

Hello there,

Before I start trying out to stream could you guys give an opinion about my pc, if it is good enough to stream atleast at 720p 30fps? Internet speed is not a problem(90mb down and 20mb up).
Processor: intel core i5 650 3.20GHz(4CPU)
6GB ram
Nvidia Gforce gt 330

Need something more?
I wanted to livestream consoles using a capture card and league of legends.

Thanks for your help.

Yeah should be enough..

Only if you are going to play a game that is taking a lot of processing power like DayZ it wil become harder to stream.

I would try streaming at 720p @ 30fps with a bitrate of 2000 and your x264 CPU preset at veryfast.
And then see how the quality is and your FPS ingame.

You probably could, but you won't be able to get much compression on it.

What do you mean with compression?

Thanks, I will try it out.

By compression he means the x264 CPU preset..

The slower, the better the quality but more CPU power is required..

So for you it wise to first use the veryfast preset and see how many frames you get and work from there..

This is a problem. That's an old laptop GPU. Which means your computer is a laptop (runs slower than a desktop would at same specs) and that old GPU itself will bottleneck you.

IMO your computer isn't good enough to stream with. At best you might be able to record to your hard drive with it, but I doubt it.
