I was looking at upgrading my dedicated streaming pc and i noticed i can get 2 Intel Xeon E5450 For half the price of 1 Intel core I7 4970k and i have looked at benchmarks and i have no idea if they would do better live streaming please help thanks

8 real cores could be better than 4 real and 4 HT. do you have a dual socket motherboard? That being said, those CPUs are only 3GHz.
 
Alright ill change it before i order it so for doing a lot of encoding what would i be able to 1080p 60fps or would i still be stuck at 720p 60fps with my AMD fx6300 for my streaming pc ??

I do believe those 771's would do good for just encoding. With my tests, I had an rtmp server reencoding a hardware encoder that was doing 720@48fps at medium preset 80% usage with 2 5450s, but there is really no upgrade path left.
 
Wow that is a lot better than i get the now i run very fast at 720p 60 fps well now i know ill go get it all ordered

I was running this through linux mind you....

be sure you run a decent GPU with that server though, OBS uses the GPU to downscale and hook the video, even with a cap card.
 
Mines will be running windows 8.1 with an SSD with Just Obs And Follower/Sub Alert software
Read above, I edited my post. but yeah, you'll need a DX11 GPU of some sort. it doesn't have to be grand, just DX11 like a cheap AMD 260x or something
 
oh yeah i figured that out when i got my first streaming pc went out spent a lot of money on a fancy motherboard with onboard graphics and it was not enough lol
