Hello. I know that it is possible to stream from the second video card and it is possible to buy inexpensively Quadro p400 (Nvenc is similar to the Nvidia 10 ** series). But on my motherboard there is free space only in x4 slot. Will it be enough to encode a stream in 1080 * 60 or 1440 * 60?
Question / Help PCI E 3.0 x4 and stream encoding 1080 * 60/1440 * 60

I do not ask whether to do or not, I need to reduce any extra load from the gaming video card to 10 Windows, because by 90%, as everyone already knows, the stream begins to lag. The second video card takes the load of the stream. And I'm interested in a specific question - will enough speed x4 PCI E 3.0?
This is NOT SLI, independent video cards.

This is actually a myth. Instead of improving performance, you actually make it worse because you have to use MASSIVELY SLOWER methods of getting the game's video frames in to the scene composition system in OBS before they get to the encoder.
I decided to check everything myself. Quadro p400, even in PCI E 3.0 x2 mode (!), because of the peculiarities distribution of lines of my Asus B450 strix f motherboard, it normally encodes a stream at 1440p*60 20000.
Quadro loaded at 40%. My 1070, in TSW, with 60 fps, was 100% loaded on some maps, and the stream began to lag. I had to reduce the graphics and set the lock to 45 fps. Now I have checked and can stream the same cards at 60 fps and with higher graphics settings. Video 1070 is loaded at a maximum of 80%.
In PUBG, when streaming from the main video card, there was a feeling of a small but annoying input delay, or as if the registration of hits was getting a little worse when streaming. Now this effect has completely disappeared.
The main video card works in x16 mode, as usual.
in Xsplit it became possible to simultaneously stream to YouTube and Twitch, also in 1440*60 (I did not know that Twitch can take 1440p) with a different bitrate for each site. Loading Quadro at the same time - stably 75%.
This is not an ideal solution, I will change the motherboard so that Quadro can work at least in x4. But I do not regret the $ 50 spent
