7900x vs 7800X3D for streaming.
Hello, I'm setting up my first PC this week and still finding it tricky with the CPU/GPU choices. The rest of my build is okay. I'm considering either a 7900X with a 7900 XT or a 7800X3D with a 4070 TI. The decision comes from benchmarks: the 7900X performs better for streaming, while the 7800X3D has a bit lower performance. The 4070 TI helps reduce the workload on the 7800X3D by using NVENC encoding. AV1 and HVEC aren't available yet, as Twitch.tv doesn<|pad|> to support those formats. For gaming or streaming at 1080p on Twitch, which only allows x264 for AMD CPUs and NVENC for Nvidia GPUs, I need to know which option suits it better. Prices are around €1346 for the 7800X3D + 4070 TI and €1392 for the 7900X + 7900 XT.
I’d opt for the 4070 Ti because the 7800X3D performs better in games and European power costs are high. The 4070 Ti offers better power efficiency.
