Question / Help RTMP less lagg/encoding?

[KYAN1TE]

Hey guys,

My current setup is a:
i5 2500k @4.5Ghz
ATI HD5770
4GB Corsair LP RAM

Basically, I stream CS:GO.
When streaming, I can manage a constant 150+ fps.
However regardless, around smoke grenades etc I start to feel general lagginess when streaming.
So I've been trying to think of a way to get around this without purchasing a capture card and going for a 2 PC setup.

I'm considering following this guide:
https://obsproject.com/forum/resour...wn-private-rtmfp-server-using-monaserver.153/
In order to stream locally then stream to Twitch using my laptop, capturing the local stream as a window capture or something.

However, in theory, even when I'm streaming to the local one (I think), my gaming PC is still technically going through all the encoding as if it was streaming directly to Twitch. But I read somewhere on the forums here when surfing that apparently this approach reduces encoding weight on my gaming PC?
Is there any truth in this? Because if there is, I may try to adopt this approach to prevent lagging from time to time when streaming & trying to play.

Your question is asking if the post you linked is true or not? I think its probably true. Most people try to avoid posting things that are untrue on these forums, as most posters aren't here just to troll you.

You can simulate what will happen in a successful setup like this by local recording to your hard drive using Quicksync. If you can do that at a high enough bitrate using your 2500k so that the recording looks indistinguishable from the original game video, then you can probably use the two computer streaming over network design.

However some computer motherboards from the Sandy Bridge era don't support Quicksync, so you should check that first. If you can't use Quicksync to decrease the CPU usage on your main computer, then the odds of this technique being a benefit to you are greatly reduced.

Oh and there are other guides for doing this than the ones you linked, try looking here for them: https://obsproject.com/forum/list/guides.25 .
