Is my pc good enough for streaming.

[joshuablofield123]

i have a 1060 6gb and a i5 6600
should i use NVENC or software x264 to stream with so my gpu or cpu?

I'd use whatever software uses the GPU, 4 cores is enough for gaming but not really enough of streaming unless it's a easy game to run.

Agree with WildCard999, a 4 core CPU will struggle to stream gameplay unless the game is light on the CPU or you use a GPU based steaming system like Shadowplay, something like OBS can easily overload the CPU: https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/game-streaming-encoding-coffee-lake-ryzen,5326.html
