Recommended Graphics cards

[Mumblez207]

Hello everyone new to the forums but have watched a ton of the YouTube videos I recently rebuilt my PC and am looking on what graphics cards to use minimum to stream I am looking for an amd or Nvidia GPU. I Stream on twitch and make videos for youtube. 

 

My specs are:

CPU: Ryzen 2700x 

Ram: 16gb g.skills 

Mobo: Asus b450 gaming atx I believe

PS: 850WATT

Rtx 2080 ti should do nicely. Also, streaming is CPU bound unless you use NVENC

I heard the 2070 and 2080 weren't very solid yet has that changed or were the mistaking?

2080 Ti is by far way to much lol.

1070, 1070 Ti, 1080, 2070, are good and also to much!!!

Cause I was looking at a 1080 to but didn't want to pay the $1500 for it. Is Asus good for GPUs?

With that CPU you will be CPU encoding and not GPU.

Too much by what metric? They seem just enough to me.

Asus makes good graphics cards but bad customer service, I like buying their products but not calling them when they break.

Not familiar with CPU encoding

by the metric that i have watched tones of streamers and the average gpu they use is around 1070/1080, (Usually lower)

Which doesn't matter, the 2080 ti is obviously price restricting so the majority of streamers would not purchase one. It makes for a good gaming experience so it would be fine to buy if OP wants a top tier gaming experience while streaming.

What do you use to stream/record?

 

With CPU encoding you will be using OBS. Which is pretty much the Go-to streaming/recording software.

 

Then it should be set to CPU encoding. Or you just swap encoding type to the on that is not hardware accelerated

It's the default encoding method. You've probably been more familiar with it but assuming that the GPU does it, very common mistake 

[voiha]

2070 = 1080ish performance + DSSL and Raytracing, I would go with the 2080 if it's within your budget if not, take gtx 1080 used or 1080ti

So, how much do you want to spend so we can make better recommendations?

I made the 2080 ti as a sarcastic comment along the lines of "post a budget or people will recommend something you can't afford" but then OP just rolled with it, apparently someone has deep pockets.
