7 3700x plus 2070 stream for watching
This setup works well for streaming. A modern PC with a decent graphics card and enough RAM will handle the demands of live content.
I broadcast, capture, and refine content every day on resolutions of 3700x and 1080. Those perform well despite the 1080 presenting some challenges, particularly with its consistency at 1440p and 144hz. Considering a 2070 super offers greater speed, streaming in high quality should be manageable—provided your internet plan provides solid upload capacity. A stable stream at reasonable bitrate means you’ll typically need around 5mb/s for 720p or 10mb/s for 1080p at 30fps. At 60fps the demand rises to roughly 15-16mb/s, and 1080p at 30fps about 8.1mb/s. These numbers fluctuate with bitrate adjustments, but generally you can maintain a clear stream with consistent performance.
