Will it run properly (my build)?

[astronutty1234]

GTX 560
everything else comes from a dell optiplex 3040 MT with an i3 6100, though I am going to add an SSD to the HDD combo.

Will 720p recording on this GPU look like this at 50000 bitrate (https://youtu.be/vUpItLkGWGU)
than like a crappy 360p youtube compressed video when I record on my iGPU?

I find 480 pretty smooth and I let the application handle the bitrate usually. I feel like it is usually way lower than that at between 400 and 2500.

I am just feeling out the software myself but this is the first one that does not slow my computer way down.
The multi-window thing was confusing at first, but I think I am getting the hang of it.
I started just using my own personal pictures and whatnot for scenes in between video streaming.

I am semi-tech savvy, I might be able to help out!
Beyond "restart it". teehee.

No, NVENC was never supported on the 500 series, first release was the 600 series.

 

[astronutty1234]

So 660?

CPU is long in the tooth, really weak & the 600 series is no longer supported by Nvidia. Personally, I would save up for a new system & not sink a penny into that old Dell.

In general I'd agree with rockbottom... however as I'm sitting on a hand-me-down set of Qty 4 Optiplex 3040 MT right now, I'd say.. it depends.;^) then again, I'm only re-purposing these for light-duty office work at a non-profit.

The challenge is getting a much better CPU, and half-height GPU with NVENC, for really low-cost.. otherwise, better to get something else. Fortunately 2.5" SATA SSDs are relatively cheap and easy to move around
I put OS and Video record on SSD, then move to HDD for archiving

IT depends on how sophisticated a video composite you want to create? Chromakeying? audio filters/effects incl noise reduction, overlays, etc.. many can add significant CPU load.

And are you sure about that bitrate? Also, For recording, CBR is NOT recommended but rather a Quality (vs bit rate) target approach.

This is what I keep telling people about, man. Usually their first instinct is to tell me to save up, not realizing I don't earn money, because if you don't meet these two requirements (being 18 and living in the US) then I'm screwed. YouTube is a possible option, but the thing is I record on QuickSync since I don't have a GPU, so I'm also screwed until I can actually get something that doesn't die trying to load Minecraft.

I have an SSD in store, so I don't need to buy one :)
Also I'm not really sure about the bitrate since I don't use OBS much.

Gotcha, funds are tough these days. The best bang for the buck GPU for your needs would be a GTX-1650 based on a TU106 or TU116 Chipset as they have the Turing encoder & should be supported by Nvidia for some time. Here are a couple that can be found 160.00 - 180.00 range US.

GIGABYTE GTX 1650 WindForce OC GDDR6 Rev. 2.0 Specs

NVIDIA TU116, 1650 MHz, 896 Cores, 56 TMUs, 32 ROPs, 4096 MB GDDR6, 1500 MHz, 128 bit

Thanks.

Beware earlier (original release) GTX 1650 using an older NVENC (GPU encode offload) chip. The original 1650 Super had the new chip, then (years later?) a revision to the 1650 included the new Turing based NVENC chipset.. right? I mention in case you missed the important caveat about which chip the GPU is based on, as it is not common for a GPU to get a mid-life revision to a next generation chipset. So if you are looking at a used GTX 1650, be sure to first clarify the chipset, and then make sure you can get a full refund if the card is not as indicated.

And also make sure to understand the PCIe add-in card dimensions your computer can handle. I believe those GPU links are for full-height cards. Is your Optiplex the mini Tower which can only accommodate a half-height card?
