So I am trying to stream from my laptop by capturing the game play on a capture card from my PC.
my laptop specs are
i7 5500u
Nividia GTX 940m
8gb RAM.
I know that my laptops process or is only Dual Core which is not optimal for streaming so i was going to try and use the either the QickSync or NVENC encoders to try and help out my CPU. I would assume that the NVENC would be better since its a decent card for a laptop. would i have to run OBS using the Nvidia GPU and have the Capture card be using the Nvidia GPU (if thats possible) to be able to use the NVENC encoder? or can i simply run obs using the integrated graphics card (so i can present a desktop) and use the Nvidia encoder to stream the capture card game play. I have been trying to use x264 and i was able to reduce my frame drops to around 5-7% with the settings of 2500 bit rate 1980x1080 base canvas, 964x480 scale resolution and in the output tab i have it set to 740x480 resolution. i also have been using faster setting for my cpu usage.
I feel that i should be able to use x265 with my cpu and using a capture card but i cant seem to get a decent quality stream from it. My internet is also more then enough i have 12 up and 60 down. Any suggestions?
