Has anyone streamed with i7-6700k?

[Tim_43]

Hello all! I was wondering if anyone has used this processor and how well it is for streaming in 60 FPS? I will be streaming in 720p60fps and 1080p60fps on most of the games that are out today including the games to come in late 2016and 2017 (Cod's, Tom Clancy Division,Rust, Rainbow 6 Seige,etc..) later on down the road I will be getting a 1440p monitor and I will also be downscaling to 960p when the time comes. I will be streaming at 720p60fps by downscaling 1080p. Do you think that this processor can handle 60 FPS and constant streaming? I will be streaming for long periods of time every day. My Internet and my graphics card is not a problem I know for a fact that they are good enough for this processor. I will post them down below. I also know that the i7- 5930k or X would've been a better option but I had already bought this one lol. I really appreciate anybody who answers my question as I have been looking all over the web for somebody to give me a decent answer. Thank you

Given your GPU, yes, it should be able to stream with no problems even at 1080p60. It would be better if you had a dedicated h264 capture card like the HD60, but even without you can use xbox recorder or geforce shadowplay

@basroil Thanks for the reply. I have the hd60 but this is a single PC setup. I will be using obs only. Do you think it could still handle it?

Yes it will handle it with no difficulties. It has hyperthreading so it should be around 70%load depending on the game you play

The HD60 already does all the work for you, no issues
