Resources Question

[FOMOF]

I was previously using an i5 and a 1650 Super to stream a relatively low resource game.

My stream was to YouTube at 1440p@60fps and 30,000 CBR. I was simultaneously recording at CQP 18. It’s about all my graphics card can handle. But it can handle it just fine.

I recently changed the stream to 1080p@60 fps so I could stream to both YouTube and Twitch. I’m using a plug-in that allows me to encode the stream only once. So now I’m streaming At 1080p@60fps instead of 1440p@60fps and 6,000 CBR instead of 30,000 CBR.

I found a really good deal on a 4k@60hz monitor. If I replace my second monitor (1080p) with this one so I am running a 4K monitor and a 1440p monitor instead of the 1440p and the 1080p would I have enough computer resources? I would continue to stream in 1080p@60fps (encoded once) and would record 4k at CQP 18?

Thoughts?

I moved on from a 6700k/1660 Super just for 4k. It can be done but you'll going to be thin & need to dial back the 4k to 30FPS or there more than likely will be rendering/encoding lag & possible stuttering. When I'm encoding 4k @ 30FPS w/p5 Preset CQP 18, my 3090 is roughly 60-65% utilized. I never let it go over 70%, if it does, I dial back my settings.

If you have an iGPU, you can offload the stream encoding to it.

You think this will be true even with a low resource game?

Yep, but you'll need to test to see if your system can meet your expectations. Like I said it will work but there's not much room to play.
