Hi all,
Let me start by saying I am 100% new at this. I just finished a new PC build but have yet to save up enough $$$ for the gpu. Right now I'm chilling with a 7700k and 16gb of ram. The question here is, can I produce a good quality stream with no GPU?
I was just messing around with a game my son was playing. Some kid game that's not very demanding and was running on the lowest settings and getting 90fps on the intergrated graphics. The game ran fine, but when messing around with obs and using window capture it was a damn mess. Totally choppy. Looked like about 15 fps in the stream and OBS was laggy and crashing.
What is causing this? Is the window capture just demanding on the gpu? Can't handle it without a dedicated gpu? I tried a few different setting, played with the bit rate, went down to 720/30....set the cpu thingy to slow to put more work on the processor.... And while some of that helped, at no point was the stream ever good.
Now, this is me just messing around. What I really plan on doing is getting the Elgado Pro and using it to stream my ps4 and webcam. My question is, once I have the capture card will I be able to put out a high quality stream of my ps4 at 1080/60, or is my pc without a gpu not going to be able to handle a good stream? From what I had read this setup should be fine for streaming without a gpu, but now I am starting to worry. Or is the window capture combined with the fact that the game is already maxing the intergrated gpu out just killing me at the moment?
Thank you for your help!!!
