What’s up guys. I am currently building a streaming rig. Currently am using an 8700k 4.8ghz single pc setup. So far I can push 720p60fps on x264 medium preset and still play pubg on almost max graphics. Great cpu. That being in mind I would like to take it further and build a streaming rig. My question is, can I pump out 900p60fps on slow or the one below it with the 2700x. Or will I need to fork out more money and get a TR? Any opinions would be appreciated.
Question / Help Will the 2700x be enough? I’m

The usual 2 pc streaming setup is to not install any streaming or recording stuff on the gaming pc. Use a capture card in the streaming pc to capture the screen of the gaming pc. The gaming pc needs only the cpu power that it takes for running the game flawlessly. The streaming pc needs the cpu power that it takes to create (encode) a smooth stream. For highest quality streams, the cpu power required to encode a smooth stream on the streaming pc is usually higher than the cpu power required to play the game on the gaming pc.
The investment into a extra streaming pc is usually not worthwhile for streaming PC games. Most streamers do very fine streams with a single PC and using nvenc as encoder, which eats almost no CPU power, so everything is available to the game. Many, if not most viewers will never realize a quality difference between a nvenc-encoded stream and a x264-encoded stream.

Ryzen 2700x can encode 1080p@60FPS@Medium, not sure about slower presets.
That being said, your system should be fine, as is, if you lower your CPU preset or use NVENC.

I am well aware of this. Have been on twitch and the streaming scene for quite sometime. What I’m saying is I am going to do build it. What I wanted to know was will the 2700x be enough. But as I said, I am going to do a dual stream setup.
Nvenc is good for if you do not have a good cpu, it’s between faster and fast on x264. Also have you ever seen someone do 900p on the 2700x? More interested in that then 1080p.

I own an overclocked Ryzen 1700 gaming/streaming single rig and it can handle 900p/60FPS on medium just fine so a stock clock 2700x dedicated streaming rig should breeze through it.
Thank you. Exactly what I wanted to hear lol.
Encoding performance isnt that crazy different if you run things with an OC but out of the box the 2700x is better but its not a whole new world only a slight increase. If you are interested in OC I would recommend the 2700 over the 2700x since you save a decent amount of money and get the same since literally every 1st gend clocks the same across the board and so does the 2nd gen. You can get pretty much any 2700 to 4.2GHz and any 1700 to 3.9GHz
