So until I get a red message on OBS, or frame drop, I won't change anything. Thanks @Jurrunio and @FakeNSA for your help.

Sorry, not trying to cast aspersions.
 
Obviously, you answered the question OP asked. Thanks for the clarification!

I did not deny that letting the RTX card do both is better
 
The encoding engine runs on different parts of the silicon, not with the Cuda, tensor nor RT cores. As long as your card doesnt hit the power limit, it shouldnt affect frame rates

Exactly. NVEC was built to be a one gpu solution, so if it works for you, then just run it as it is.
(Please correct me if wrong @Jurrunio)

While this is accurate, couldn't one run games on a 2070 while simultaneously using the nvec encoder, without a massive drop in performance? So you only need the one card running?

Then you should ask "Pascal versus Turing", not GTX vs RTX because GTX can also be Turing.
 
In this case Turing is better, I've seen its results being comparable to x264 fast while Pascal is more like x264 veryfast

OK you'll have to give me a couple minutes its not currently in my PC

SLI with nvlink works basically the same. The memory pooling is mostly for compute uses, not graphical programs.

Hey Y'all, 
 
I built my rig around this time last year, below are my current specs.
 
CPU Ryzen 5 2600x, stock cooler Motherboard MSI B450 Gaming Pro Carbon AC RAM Corsair Vengeance LPX 16 GB DDR4 3200MHz GPU GIGABYTE Windforce OC GTX 1660ti Case Rosewill Spectra C100 Storage Kingston 240GB SSD, Seagate Barracuda 2TB HDD 7200 RPM PSU Corsair CX 650 Watt 80 Plus Bronze   I wanted a gaming rig something terrible, but didn't have as much money as I would have liked to, so I cheap got cheap in a few areas, mainly the GPU. This worked out fine for a while, as I was playing games like BeamNG Drive and Automation: The Car Company Tycoon Game, nothing crazy. In the past year I have gotten a much better job and started buying some better, AAA games, such as GTA V, Mafia 3, and Far Cry New Dawn. All three of these games run alright, but I struggle to maintain 60 FPS without dropping the settings. Maybe it's just me, but I cringe when I have to lower settings. I want to get the best at 1080p without compromises. My next purchase will most likely be RDR 2, and I know there's no way I'm going to get a relatively steady 60 FPS without really dropping the settings, and I definitely don't want to do that. I am also looking to purchase a nice high refresh rate 1080p monitor, or maybe, but not likely, a 1440p monitor. Therefore, I've decided its time for an upgrade.   I did a quick search on Amazon, there's two 2070S I can get for $499, linked here.   https://www.amazon.com/GIGABYTE-GeForce-Windforce-Graphics-GV-N207SWF3OC-8GD/dp/B07WN6RVHH/ref=sr_1_6?dchild=1&keywords=2070s&qid=1584921157&sr=8-6 https://www.amazon.com/ZOTAC-GeForce-Graphics-IceStorm-Zt-T20710E-10M/dp/B07XSPWMP9/ref=sr_1_7?dchild=1&keywords=2070s&qid=1584921183&sr=8-7   I also looked at some 5700XT's ranging from $369 to $419, linked here.   https://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-Graphics-256-Bit-Gv-R57XTGAMING-OC-8GD/dp/B07W95D5V3/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=5700xt&qid=1584921238&sr=8-1 https://www.amazon.com/XFX-1905MHz-Express-Graphics-Rx-57XT8OFF6/dp/B07WRYC3MT/ref=sr_1_6?dchild=1&keywords=5700xt&qid=1584921349&sr=8-6\ https://www.amazon.com/MSI-Gaming-Radeon-Boost-Clock/dp/B07WNSP41M/ref=sr_1_8?dchild=1&keywords=5700xt&qid=1584921349&sr=8-8   What I know already is that the 5700XT is 10 to 20 percent slower, but 25 or more percent cheaper that the 2070S. That would make me inclined to go with the 5700XT. But I know they had a lot of launch issues, such as overheating and bad drivers. Is this still the case? Also, my motherboard is only a B450, so it doesn't have PCI E 4.0. Does that have any kind of performance difference?    It seems like the 2070S is a pretty universally well liked card, and seems to have less issues. I could care less about ray tracing though. So would the chance of it being easier to just plug and play make it work the extra $100+? I have the money to buy either, and am kind of leaning towards the 5700XT, but I just don't want to spend so much money and be fighting it all the way to get it working right. Remember, my main goal is to play anything maxed at 1080p, 60 FPS. Anything past that is just a nice bonus. I know this is probably overkill, but I'd like my next upgrade to be 2 or 3 years from now, not in less than one year like with my 1660ti.    Thanks for any advice!  

PCIe 3 does not drop 5700XT performance, but I prefer 2070S because nothing sucks more than getting a card freshly delivered to work but it doesnt cooperate.

Ltt already did an encoder comparison though the resent cards. 
Newest is better. Like all of history. 

Nevermind, I figured it out, for some reason my computer doesn't like when I plug another monitor into the first display port of my secondary GPU. However plugging it into the second one works

Bad news my friend

All B350, B450, X370, X470, and X570 motherboards can overclock. You'd have to get a seriously crappy motherboard not to have overclocking, so you shouldn't consider it.
 
You could get rid of the hyper 212 and stick with the stock cooler, it will give you money for other parts.
Start with the SSD first, so that you don't have to reinstall Windows later. A 240GB or 480GB SSD is a good starting point.
 
 
Your ram will hurt you. Slow speed is bad, single stick is worse. 2x8GB DDR4 3000 is very affordable.

i have only one 8GB ram stick corsair vengence LPX and tries both slots one by one 

its 700W power supply i think it can give enough power 

Have you tried booting with less ram installed?

i think your better off buying a new one, build your pc on pc part picker then see if the power consumption is to high for the psu you have and if it is get a new one otherwise it may be the MB may not be able to power it
