[SOLVED] Streaming i7 6700k

[Pimpyy]

So I have a i7 6700k with a 1060 6gb with 8gb ddr4 I was wondering is this good enough to stream games such as fortnite/black ops 4?

you could, I have with a 7700k which is pretty much the same just a little newer. i've streamed on twitch with BEBOwith my setup, i believe you would be better off with 16gb ram though.

BO4 already uses more than 7GB of RAM when it's just the game, I'd definitely upgrade that if you plan on streaming. As for the actual streaming, are you planning on using NVENC or x264? You'd probably struggle a bit with x264 unless your bitrate is pretty low and you use the veryfast preset in OBS. You'll have to do some test streaming. If you use NVENC and low settings in game so your GPU can pick up the stream, should be fine, but again RAM might be an issue for you.

If you use NVENC and low settings in game so your GPU can pick up the stream,

Nvenc doesn't use the same resources as games use it's a ASIC,you can run at ultra quality and record with nvenc,and you won't loose any FPS,at least not enough to even notice.

So I should upgrade to 16gb of ram? That will help the stream out

That will help just for literally playing BO4, let alone streaming it. 100% worth the investment IMO.

So will the 16gb run the system better and will it help streaming?
