startmenu got a reaction from RainbowmatterTV in 2 GPU one PC for Streaming
Thank you so much for the detailed explanation and i really appreciate this!

Well the 1950x is if you do any gaming far worse than a 7700k. It's made in a different way compared to regular ryzen and really suffers with gaming. It's nice for editing sure but windows to this day still struggles with threadripper 1000 and 2000 due to the way it's made. Threadripper 3000 fixed the issues and now performs much better compared to the later ones in windows (in linux the performance jump is far more gradual and as you would expect due to it actually understanding what to do).
So for sure go for a 3950x or 3900x if you need it now now. For streaming and editing a 3900x would be plenty. If you can wait till november 5 get the new 5900x will be better in gaming. But of course wait for benchmarks.

Threadripper first generation is obsolete, Regular Zen 2 beats it, even with fewer cores.
Threadripper second generation is OK, but only if you need the extra cores and PCI-E lanes.
In about 20 days the Ryzen 5000 series (zen 3) will be released. From 15 to 20% increase in performance per core compared to Ryzen 3000 (zen 2).
Supposedly, Ryzen 5000 will beat Intel in nearly everything.
I'd recommend the Ryzen 7 5800X or the Ryzen 9 5900X.

This should be the answer I've been looking for. Thanks for your input man!

that depends how much money you want to throw at this.
normally, mass storage for archived footage is handled by some HDD's, while you have some smaller NVMe drives for current projects.

definitely go with the 3950X. i have a 1950X and it is now starting to show it's age.
the 3950X clocks higher, is more efficient and is generally just the better choice here.
the only reason you should ever go Threadripper iis if you really need all the PCIe lanes, which you don't for a streaming/gaming machine.

startmenu reacted to WereCatf in 2 GPU one PC for Streaming
The reason why using a second GPU for encoding actually performs worse is because when you're using the same GPU for both gaming on and encoding, the frames never have to leave VRAM -- the GPU can just access the frame-data directly in its own VRAM and encode them -- but when you're using two GPUs, the CPU has to first download each frame from the first GPU into system RAM, then upload that into the second GPU's VRAM for it to be encoded there. That's a LOT of extra traffic that can be avoided with a single GPU, like e.g. playing at 1440p resolution at 60FPS, that'd be 2560 * 1440 pixels by 4 bytes of data per pixel by 60 frames per second ~= around 843MB of data to download from one GPU, then upload to another, every single second.

No not really considering the 1650 non super uses the old volta encoder which isn't really the best in terms of quality. Getting a 2080/2070 super and then using nvec will probably cost the same and will be better.

It works, but it actually performs worse than just using a single GPU for both gaming and streaming.

Alright i will take note of this. Thanks for the feedback.

Well if you're using the hardware encoder. That has little to no performance hit on the GPU. So that won't help much really.

startmenu reacted to GoldenLag in GTX 980 vs GTX 1650 for streaming
would not take note of this as it has the pascal encoder, and not the actual good turing encoder.
also its just a much slower GPU.
gtx 980 is a better option.
