Running OBS with Snapdragon X and Qualcomm Adreno x1

I am starting a YouTube channel that I will react to music videos using my Surface Pro(Snapdragon X and Qualcomm Adreno x1). I will be feeding my video from a Canon 800D, at 1080p, audio from a dedicate XLR Mic, and video from the same pc that is running OBS from Youtube. Looking to see if I am going to have problems with this setup as I have a lot of equipment to buy and hope that I can use my Surface Pro.

Will I run into problems running this setup?
Does a Video capture card inline from the camera help?
Will I need to optimize any settings or throttle video feed quality?

Here are the specs:

Snapdragon X 10-core X1P64100 @3.4 Ghz
Qualcomm Adreno X1-85 GPU (128MB)
16 GB Ram

Thank you!
 
Looking at the benchmarks for both of them, I'd say you probably have a better chance of hitting the lotto. That Surface isn't bringing much heat to the party & will probably overheat as well when put to the fire. All you can do is test.
 
It's not much but see

Windows on Arm (Experimental) FAQ | OBS

OBS (Open Broadcaster Software) is free and open source software for video recording and live streaming. Stream to Twitch, YouTube and many other providers or record your own videos with high quality H264 / AAC encoding.

I don't know exactly how the Canon EOS Webcam Utility works but if it's an app/service that has to run, a capture card *should* use less resources because it's just drivers.

Tools > Auto-Configuration Wizard. Once it's done, don't change anything, restart OBS and hope for the best.

So stupid comment.. I stream on Twitch with exactly the same setup, with Reaper (I do Music on Twitch). I have no issues...
If you don't know, don't shit talking...

I use a surface snapdragon with a canon eos R8. EOS Utility is a crapware. Your camera can certainly be used directly as an USB webcam (as mine).
My setup runs fine..

That may be so but it's a weak set-up no matter what you say.....

It's an equivalent of a M2 CPU. I do Reaper, Da Vinci Resolve, OBS. It's a lot faster than my previous notebook (core I 7 from 2020). I can even run games like Civ VI with wide resolution.. in silence. It's not a gaming PC but not a weak machine.
