Should i stream useing my gpu or cpu?
I’m broadcasting on Twitch at 720p 60 frames per second while playing Fortnite, utilizing a single PC for both streaming and gaming. I possess a Ryzen 1600 processor and an RX 580 graphics card. I understand that generally, only high-end systems are recommended to stream solely using the CPU, but I believe the Ryzen is suitable for streaming as well? And considering the RX 580 isn’t top-of-the-line, wouldn't utilizing it negatively impact my frame rates? I’m confused and need assistance.
You might be uncertain regarding streaming; optimal frame rates require both a powerful processor and a capable graphics card operating from the same device. What source material are you consulting that discusses streaming utilizing either the GPU or CPU, rather than employing both?

Hang-the-9:
Why are you examining information detailing GPU versus CPU streaming instead of employing both?
Can you recall observing a technique that utilizes both simultaneously?
Swiftaj, simply test each option and determine which performs more efficiently.
Fortnite exhibits unusual behavior regarding CPU utilization, frequently generating issues when other applications run concurrently (such as streaming). However, if you activate vsync within the game to restrict it to 60 frames per second, your CPU's demand will be minimal, potentially enabling you to stream at 720p/60 with your processor.

You’re asking about comparisons of streaming performance when utilizing either your graphics card (GPU) or central processing unit (CPU), rather than both?
Have you ever observed a technique that incorporates the simultaneous use of both?

Fortnite presents unusual CPU demands, frequently leading to issues if other applications are active concurrently (such as during streaming). However, enabling versusync within the game to restrict it to 60 frames per second (FPS) significantly reduces CPU strain, potentially permitting you to stream at 720p/60 with your CPU.
When launching any streaming application, you’ll notice its CPU utilization, and you can configure encoding for either the GPU or CPU. It's unavoidable that the CPU will be involved. Running a streaming program alongside another application will invariably decrease overall performance, depending on the game being played. I haven't specifically analyzed the CPU impact of Twitch on a system – I typically disable that function.

Any streaming application consumes CPU resources, and you can configure encoding to utilize either the GPU or the CPU. However, the CPU is always involved. Despite this, when selecting the GPU for encoding, the CPU cycles utilized are extremely minimal—it barely registers—and it has no discernible impact on game performance at all.
