I've been streaming for a while using a two pc setup. Second mini ITX is the stream machine and has a Elgato HD60 Pro. Currently just has a Ryzen 3400G APU. I've been streaming and recording in 1080 and everything has been running smoothly.
I've recently started a youtube series and wanted to do it in 4k. No way to get 4k to the stream PC so have been running a second OBS on my main PC just to record the visuals. The stream PC has carried on recording the HD version with the fairly complex audio setup (all channels being recorded separately for post editing). Little bit of a faff when everything gets into Premiere but it's not too much of a headache and the results have been great.
Onto my question. I'd like to get the stream PC recording in 4K so was looking at the Elgato 4K Pro mk2. I was originally planning on just upgrading to the Ryzen 5700G APU and assumed that would be enough but looking at the minimum specs it is asking for dedicated GPUs. Does anyone have any advice on how well OBS works with that capture card and 5700G. It is a fairly capable chip in terms of CPU bound tasks but obviously the graphics performance is limited.
I am happy to stream in 4k if keeping recording and streaming resolutions the same will save on compute power required.
