Two PCs for smooth streaming.
Two PCs for smooth streaming.
People are interested in dual PC streaming configurations. Many find it appealing because it lets you enjoy games on a single machine without sacrificing performance, while keeping costs lower than building everything separately. Others share similar thoughts and suggest specific hardware choices for optimal results. What do you think?
I've looked for guidance on processor requirements for streaming and gaming. It's hard to get a definite answer. You mentioned wanting smooth 1080p at 60fps and 1440p at 144fps without lag. A 1080ti seems fine, but picking the right CPU has been tricky. What options do you think are best?
Certainly. With a Ryzen 1800X you can stream smoothly without needing two units for performance. Using tools like ReLive on AMD cards lets you stream directly to almost any platform (YouTube, Twitch, etc.) without a capture card and with minimal impact on speed (typically just 1-2% loss).
I’d prefer not to watch the guy blast 56 cores with x264 in OBS while hitting the diminishing returns zone.
Yes, it could work well. The Intel 7820X i7 offers strong performance suitable for both smooth 1080p streaming at 60fps and demanding 1440p gaming.
