I'm looking to maximize my streaming setup by getting the top-tier card possible. Right now it feels like I might have to replace my motherboard and CPU to stay current with newer cards.
I understand your perspective. Personally, I don’t suggest going for a 2080Ti unless absolutely necessary, mainly because it’s about 50-75% more expensive—roughly a 5% boost in performance. I’m fine streaming on my 2080S without any issues. Still, the most sensible move right now is to push your CPU as high as it allows and consider playing at a higher resolution if you can.
And for streaming, consider using nvec instead of h264 to avoid putting too much strain on the CPU.
It remains a constraint. If he could improve his setup, or enhance his display, I’d likely suggest moving up his system, since that offers the best value. Yet, it looks like he’s maintaining solid frame rates in games, so a reasonable plan would be to transition to 1440p (as it’s moving toward becoming the new 1080p) and eventually switch to a Ryzen 4000 later.
If streaming isn't an option at all, then it's a solid choice. However, whenever you can, go for 264 for better quality. For relaxed viewing, it doesn't matter much, but if the person is serious about content creation, it could hurt their reputation. You're correct that not being able to stream now means sticking with what's available.
