Streaming pc with graphic card or capture card

[Cyqpann]

Hi,
I would like to know 2 things with obs. I'm currently using 2 pc setup. My gaming rig with a ryzen processor and a 2070s and a streaming pc with obs via ndi. My streaming pc doesn't have a graphic card, only a i7 4970 processor. If i want to deserve better quality streaming with my streaming pc, should i use a capture card into my gaming pc or the streaming pc or a i should get a graphic card into my streaming pc via ndi to achieve better quality ? On my gaming pc i have 3 monitor connected, if i'm using a capture card, will i lose a monitor if im getting a capture card?

thanks a lot

Directly stream from the gaming PC and get rid of the streaming PC. Use Nvenc as encoder and game capture and don't use a capture device.

What about perf when i wanna stream game like Elden ring from 4k maximum setting to 1080p on twitch or other crazy game that are asking a lot of performance. It freezing and pixelrated and my ryzen is going over 90% used.

you stream PC cant handle the streaming in good quality
you can output 8k HDR 16 on the Gaming PC but the stream PC is shitty ;)

what would you use the Quicksync of the intel CPU? the CPU would Cry Help me. and render lags
