Question Can I stream with my Lenovo Legion 5 ?

[wayzezb]

Hi! I recently bought a Lenovo Legion 5. The specs of the same are:
AMD RYZEN 5 5600H
16GB RAM
8GB GDDR6 AMD RADEON RX6600M

Can I stream games like apex and valorant at 1080p with smooth frames etc ?

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

If you want to game and stream off the same platform, you're going to struggle at 1080p. If you're going to stream using the laptop alone and have another dedicated gaming system to game on then yes you should be fine with 1080p streaming. If you were looking at gaming and streaming off the same laptop, you should've looked into a much beefy(with cooling solution) higher spec'd laptop.

Thank you for this, I do have another possible alternative available to me although I’m not sure how to set it up etc. Basically I’ve got an older Lenovo Legion with a i5 and GTX1050 just lying around as I upgraded from that to my current laptop. If you (or anyone) could provide me with an in depth explanation on how I can setup a dual laptop streaming-gaming setup, that would be something I can work with as well. I’ve seen many threads about this but all they say is you need a capture card but no explanation about how the mic/headset stuff would work because if i’m gaming i’d probably play with friends and use discord etc as well.

I know it’s a long ask but any help is appreciated.

Thank you!
