Hello,
i am currently planning on building a streaming pc and i am struggling with the gpu choice. My focused stream-output is 1080p60 at 6000 kbps and I'm looking at the gt 730 or 710 just for decoding the stream. These cards have the GK208 chip and are officially supporting NVENC with at least H.264 (YUV 4:2:0). Source: https://developer.nvidia.com/video-encode-decode-gpu-support-matrix
With that I will order a Razer Ripsaw Capture Card. It has an HDMI input and a HDMI Pass-Through output with 1080P 60fps on both, capturing and passing through.
But my streaming pc should also be my gaming pc. And my gaming pc has an i7-4770K@4.3Ghz, a GTX 1060 6GB and 12GB DDR3@ i guess 1333 or 1600 Mhz. The secondary gpu, the gt 710 or whatever it will be, will decode the stream from the capture card while the primary gpu, the GTX 1060, will handle the games. At lastly I want the capture card to capture a mirrored source of my main monitor from another hdmi port of my primary gpu. The only shared part of the gaming and streaming pc is the CPU, what didn't come over 4% in OBS while streaming with NVENC.
So far the theory.
My primary question is about the new decoder GPU. What can you recommend?
It shall keep the 60fps constantly and its performance shouldn't to be too generous, maybe at around 80% utilization.
Or is it better to go for another card maybe with H.265 support for future-proofness?
Also, I was wondering about your feedback about my planned setup.
I would appreciate your help. Thanks!
