I've been streaming for almost a year. At the moment I'm playing fortnite.
PC : CPU - i5 6600 |GPU - GTX 1070 | 16 GB ram
Laptop : CPU - i7-4600U | GPU - Intel® HD Graphics 4400
I have a PC with a great GPU, but when I stream my in game performance is not that great. I use obs and my encoder is NVENC, because with x264 the game is unplayable. Sometimes I even stop streaming because of the lag.
I was thinking of upgrading to an i7 but I actually have a laptop that has a great CPU so I was thinking of using it as a streaming computer. I know I can do it without even buying a capture card so I can save some money.
What do you think, should I buy the i7 or use a dual-computer setup ?
Thanks
