Question / Help Only x264 encoder

[Tomel]

So, i got into streaming. My cpu is at 100% in every game, and I wanted to switch to software encoding. But there is only x264. Am I missing something?
My graphics card and stuff:
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 550 Ti (overclocked)
AMD athlon X4 740 quad core (overclocked)

AFAIK Shadowplay/NVENC is a GTX 600 series and above tech. Beiong that you have an AMD processor, you don't have QuickSync either, so x264 as the only option makes sense.
