[SOLVED] GPU For Streaming Only?

[SH Gaming]

So I am currently trying to figure out what would be best for streaming my games. This PC will only be doing streaming since I already have my gaming pc. I was wondering what I would need to stream 1080p and preferably 60FPS. Would the 1660 be enough power or would I need something a little better? Thanks!

You could get a Celeron even the J type and the iGPU with quick sync would be enough to stream even 4k@60FPS as long as your internet has enough upload.

If you already have an intel CPU you can skip the extra PC altogether and use the iGPU without influencing your FPS at all.

I have a AMD system and I am also getting a few parts for christmas. The processor I am getting is the i3 10100 but I wanted to make sure I can record 1080p because I know well it won’t stream anything past 810p 60FPS. The bandwidth I can not push too high or else it just does not work well since I am running wireless.

I was also not about to stream with an core 2 quad. Lol

Yeah as long as your hardware/software solution supports quick sync that CPU will be overkill.
It should also be ok for software streaming but it might struggle with that.

I use stream labs, which I know eats cpu usage and causes lack of performance on my single PC which has a R5 2600, on battle royal games. Which is why I plan on building the second Pc but wanted it to stream and record 1080p at 60FPS

I use stream labs,

Yeah stream labs can use both quicksync and nvenc and there is also a special version that can use AMD, so you are all set.

You will need an HDMI input though, which means a pretty pricey thing like an elgato and if you go that way anyway you can get a standalone unit that records straight to a USB or SD without needing a whole PC.

For me I have to use x264 because of an AMD GPU because I didn’t have the money then. I might honestly just say screw it, build the second pc to help with the load, and see if I can run using the CPU on the second pc (when built) and see how far I can push it. If it seems to not work At 1080p then I may as well get the 1660. I knew I would need a capture card anyways so I am fine with buying one.

I should of mentioned that this PC was intended for being a sleeper streaming pc

I was just wondering if the 1660 could handle 1080p without having much problems at all because there is almost nothing out there
