i7-2670MQ for streaming in conjunction with gaming rig

[jdmilion]

if i get an elgato capture card, and hook up a laptop with a 4 core 8 thread 2670MQ, and my main rig with a g3258 @ 4.0gHz, and i game on my g3258 rig and stream from my 2670MQ laptop, will the laptop 2670MQ be able to encode everything on the slow preset with OBS? or at least "slower" preset? all it will be doing is encoding so thats the only load it will have. i was wondering if this sort of dual rig where i can use the laptop on the go but then use it for something practical at home would work. 

 

 

or should i just get a 4690k or 4790k for my main rig and stream only off of that?

It could probably do the slow preset.

That 2670MQ is faster than your pentium :mellow:

I've got a 2670QM in my GT780, it's no slouch even by today's standards.

so i should go with the 2670QM and dual stream? 

 

or would it be worth getting 4790k or 4690k?

 

would that bennifet me if i were to upgrade and stream and game on the same pc? 

 

i just want my stream to look the best it can

4690k would be better.

4690k would be better.

so 4690k and only use my gaming PC to stream?

It should be enough, unless you plan to do some seriously high quality 720p 60 streams. But then again, pentium sucks for playing games, you would get more fps either way.
