Hello guys I have a question I need to know.I recently made a build with the ryzen 5 2600 and RTX 2060 and I want to start streaming games.I got Streamlabs OBS, I used this before for streaming and I would like to know if it would be better streaming using my CPU or my GPU.My CPU had 6 cores and 12 threads and it's good for streaming but I'm not sure if I will lose more performance if I use my CPU rather than my Graphics Card.
 
This depends heavily on the game,using the GPU you will never have lower performance but using the CPU might result in better quality at the same bandwith if you use good settings,at those settings some games will definetly loose performance others though will not.
There is no substitute for experience.
