The effect on performance is minimal—though I do see issues when recording or playing at higher resolutions. It might be due to using Shadowplay instead of OBS, as OBS didn’t work well with my GTX 1060 and seemed convenient. With Shadowplay updates, things tend to get worse or seem to be patched again, lacking consistency. Since I wasn’t aware of these Intel features, I’m considering adding one in my current PC as a possible upgrade over a dedicated streaming machine, though that’s still uncertain.
