Is my computer capable of broadcasting and running games simultaneously?
This is fabricated information...
Many games require more than 8 threads, and streaming often needs up to 16 threads, which will still create resource contention even before considering memory and input/output performance.
You’ll likely need to adjust graphical settings, frame rate limits, and similar adjustments regardless.
Your data is accurate only if the original poster is solely focused on streaming Minecraft or a similarly single-threaded game where other CPU processes won’t interfere with the streaming process.
Considering your budget, a Ryzen 7 2700 or 2700x would be an excellent option for broadcasting content. However, if your finances allow, the 3700x would be a worthwhile upgrade.
I honestly don’t understand your argument, but this precisely illustrates my concern: This article offers a thorough examination on Tom’s website, detailing many aspects for those unfamiliar with the subject. It specifically highlights how an i7 7700k experiences frame drops and fails to match the performance of more powerful multi-core processors. As I previously stated, a reasonable 6 core/12 thread processor is more than adequate for enjoyable gameplay at acceptable visual settings – enabling a smooth 60 frames per second experience – and, combined with an appropriate graphics card, will deliver a solid stream at 60fps in 1080p resolution. No adjustments made within OBS or Twitch, or any streaming software, could compensate for the 6600k’s limited processing power. The resulting gameplay and stream quality would be significantly substandard.
I anticipated the water clarity wouldn't be ideal, but I underestimated the degree of poorness. A resolution of 720p at 30 frames per second, streamed directly from the graphics card, represented the maximum achievable performance given the user’s existing equipment – and it would nevertheless appear substandard.
