Hi,

I am wondering if my laptop will be able to stream (on obs) and hopefully record at the same time.

My laptop specs:

Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-6300HQ CPU @ 2.30GHz, 2304 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 4 Logical Processor(s)
Ram = 8 GB
NVIDIA = GeForce GTX 950M
2.3 GHz, 3.2 GHz on turbo

I only recently got into learning about computers, but I am not confident enough to answer this myself, knowing the HD60S doesn't have the built-in encoder.
Also I don't have space for a stationary pc.

Also, I am looking to stream a first person shooter at 60fps, 1080p

Thank you,

Paul

What game are you planning to stream? 1080p would be impossible but I suppose 720p would be doable though please expect sluggish gameplay with your setup. People tend to offload streaming duties on a secondary system when dealing with a entry-mid range system for gaming(which is akin to what you have now).

Thank you for your quick reply,
Battlefield 5 for now, but maybe Apex in the future. I'll be using the card from PS4 to laptop.

What is the reason 1080p is out of the question, the ram, video card, or the processor?

Also would just recording go well in 1080p?
