10400f (b560) or 5600x (b550) streaming with nvenc

Hi guys,

Going to be buying a custom pre built PC and deciding on a CPU for it, I game as well as stream and record at the same time.

So just wondering if I would see a difference from using a 10400f or a 5600x while streaming but using the nvenc GPU encoder.

Can anyone shed some light? Thanks

So I can go to a 5800x or 11700f, but means moving GPU from 3080 to a 3070ti.

Still worth doing?

Any reason to get the more expensive 5600x over the 11400f?

How big is the price difference between the two? If it's quite big then settling the for 11400F should be fine but the 5600X is the better performer.

Well I've found a deal, 5600x b550 MSI gaming edge and 16gb crucial 3200 for £400, so think I'll do that and hold on for a FE 3070ti, full build we be about £1300

Ive just put together a 5600x, B550, 16gb 3600 and 3070ti system, its a good balance I think, performance is great although not tried gaming + streaming yet. I do recall that Intel had issues with stutter when streaming and gaming, probably been resolved now but it was definitely a thing.

I'm literally about to order the same spec.

Found a good CPU mobo deal, so going to do that and get a 70ti FE card

NO! but if going 3080 get the 5600X it is a significantly faster gaming CPU and the 3080 will need it, but either way the 3080 is always better than the 3070TI.

Edit: unless you get that good deal on the 3070TI, the 5600X is still worth the difference over the 10400F

I'm going to go for the 5600x system anyway I think, as found a CPU/mobo deal on it, and going to hold out for a 3070ti FE, should be around the £1200-1250 mark all in

 

[beasty6]

Did you get that Cpu/mobo bundle ?

Not yet, going to wait until I get a FE card then will order the rest.

Good deal really, will see if ocuk will do the same deal, all from one place then (other than FE card)

Mite as well wait for Alderlake cpu to be released in approx 3 weeks, but if your gaming streaming and encoding at the sane time mite be worth stretching to an 8 core cpu.

I did think about that, I feel I will be priced out of alder lake tho.

I'll see what 5800x bundles I can find also
