Question / Help Using laptop to stream ?

[RuthlessSaint]

Can I use a laptop as a 2nd pc to handle all the streaming ? If so how powerful does it have to be ?

 

[Sapiens]

It would need to be powerful enough to handle real time encoding at whatever resolution and FPS you plan to send to it. What are the specs of the laptop you plan to use? If you don't already have one then building a dedicated encoding PC would probably be more cost-effective.

Okay, i haven't gotten a laptop yet so that's why i asked. but i am getting a laptop so would a CPU like i7 be ok, and how fast does it need to be ?

 

[Sapiens]

As fast as you're willing to pay for. Generally most i7 laptop CPUs should be okay, but again you'll probably be better off using your 3570 for encoding.

Alright since you are telling me to use my i5 3570k i will do as you say :)
