Hi all,
I'm looking to put together a 2nd stream PC. My main build is a typical 8700k/1080ti affair and I game at 1440p and up to 165hz. I'm not going to resort to 1080p for gaming.
I don't want to use my main rig in any way other than gaming on so the 2nd PC has to handle all the stream related work. What kind of spec would be good for a 1080p/60fps stream? Is there an older cpu using ddr3 that could handle this in order to save on cost? I'd also rather not use a capture card given their cost and understand OBS can now substitute for this but if so, does this mean a stronger 2nd cpu and how would you capture the gameplay?
Thank you all!
