Need a CPU boost for streaming, recording, or editing?
Need a CPU boost for streaming, recording, or editing?
I'm searching for an upgrade. My issue is that streaming causes significant frame drops, even when I play at high settings. I've managed to stream Modern Warfare without too many problems, but Overwatch at 720 60fps while playing at 1080 144hz is challenging. I'm unsure which CPU to choose—Ryzen 5 2600, 7 2700, or the X version? Are the 2700/X models too demanding? Will the 2600 be limited? There might be restrictions on the 2400G model. The specs include a Ryzen 5 2400G, a Gigabyte board, 16GB RAM, an F4-3600C19D GPU, and an OC+ PSU. OBS is skipped for performance reasons.
No, I didn't do that. I also updated the message to @GDRRiley and @Slottr asking about the 2600 limits.
You could handle the 2600 easily, but in this case the 2700 would work much better. If you can afford it, the 2700 is a great deal. Otherwise, if you prefer to spend less, go with the 2600—or the 1600 for even better value.
