[SOLVED] Nvidia vs AMD for streaming?

[geekgamer5902]

Hi. I'm looking at either a 5700 XT or a 2060 Super for streaming. I heard somewhere that NVENC is better for streaming. But there hasn't been coverage for AMF/VCE in the RX card. I have a 144hz FreeSync monitor too but I'll be streaming at 1080p with OBS, which one is the better choice?

Nvidia has slightly better encoder.

Nvenc is really good. Always Nvidia if you are streaming.

Hi can you also tell me if FreeSync makes a difference when it's on? Because my monitor isn't one of those FreeSync that supports G-Sync and G-Sync monitors are way too expensive.

Get the 5700XT, alot better performance for the same price which means that you also can run higher settings. I can barely notice any tearing with freesync off vs on. What Processor do you have?

Nice, your system will work great for streaming. Sorry for the late answer and good luck with the PC!
