Hi, I have a question about what the right hardware upgrade would be for to be able to run a medium/slow preset in a two-PC streaming set-up. Basically my current set-up isn't able to do this (currently on VeryFast), and I'd like to maintain a higher quality picture and fps for the kinds of games I'm playing (Fortnite, Apex, PUBG, COD...). Should I go with a cheap upgrade to my GPU and use NVENC (a 1660 super?) or go with a newer CPU set-up (R5 3600X)? In my streaming set-up I'm running an i7-2700k with x264. I've got it running 900p on a very fast preset at around 6000 bitrate.
