So, it is possible to Gaming with my PC and Stream with my Laptop (Laptop has better CPU) without a Capture Card? Laptop has only a HDMI Out.

Picture what i want:

Hope there is a solution :)

You can try to set up an nginx RTMP server to do this (low compression/high bandwidth stream from your gaming PC running OBS to the laptop running the nginx server, then have that re-encode to your target settings and stream to the provider) but there's no guarantee how reliable it would be, and synching up different audio sources would be a nightmare. A capture card would easily be a better solution.

A capture card is really the correct solution, here. The weird nginx hack sometimes works for people, but it's complicated and just weird. I can't recommend it. Get a capture card.

Yeah, not really so much how in-home streaming is set up to work. And no one really knows what kind of lag it's going to induce, quality loss, not to mention that it's going to be compressing the video on the machine the game is running on in the first place.

Buy a capture card.

Well, I have a notebook already running debian / win7, i use windows only for gaming though, wouldnt be a hassle to install nginx to run on this notebook.

question is, how cpu / quality friendly it will be for my gaming pc - AMD 64X2 5600+, 6GB ram, gtx 760 4gb ddr5, with 900kbps upload that cant play dota2 with obs casting to twitch with 1280x720p with only 2 overlays (streamKB and a webcam) . I tryed many configurations on OBS, the configurations / log checker suggestoins got me to this:
CBR active, max kb/s =765, buffer size 459
audio aac 96kb, 44.1hz stereo
video on 1440x900, downscaled to 1.50
lanczos filter, 25fps
x264 veryfast, and 2 keyframes.

well, besides casting goes, game sometimes gets unplayable (<13fps), and cpu is always at 100%, even taking down a little bit on the confgs, going up to superfast on x264, but that downscaled is already very bad resolution, imho.

on testing i could setup the screen to 1920x1280 and scale it down to 1280x720, on witch I got a very nice image on twitch, but cpu usage agains goes 100% and game gets unplayable (<6fps)

I know its a generally responded question here and there on the forum, but I couldnt get that sure that encoding for network with low bandwitdh could overlap the oldschool 64X2+ cpu I have in performance, if I could simply cast using the full local bandwidth range to anohter computer, and them shrink it up to get into twitch.
