Streaming Question....again

[Glaith]

So my setup for streaming is
Main rig:

CPU:I7 7700k
Ram: 32 Gig Hyper X 
GPU : 1080 Ti Strix
Monitor : 1400p 165hz
 

Streaming PC
CPU : I5 4670k
Ram : 8 Gig Hyper X
GPU is 2 choices hense the question atm.
GTX 1050 or GTX 980

My question is what would you guys do in my situation?

I use a NDI Plugin on OBS as I Cannot afford a capture card and my streaming PC also used Mini ITX Mobo and case and hasnt got the PCI slot for Capture Card.

Trying to find a smooth solution for now with my current setup as funds are low.

Do I use the GTX 980 for NVEC (New) raw power
Or Do I use the 1050 as 10 series has Encoding for Nvidia NVEC
Using a high refresh rate high res monitor make streaming hard for smooth frames on Stream.

Using Main rig for streaming is outa question as its way to taxing on system for the games I play.

Just want some Input thx guys.

Seeing your specs, the bolded parts are hilarious.

You have tested this? Since system is really beastly and using NVenc isn't suppose to stress GPU that much. Or you coul use QuickSync if 7700K for some reason is maxed out by your games. Which I doubt.

 

What is your goal overall? What games, what streaming resolution/bitrate etc.?

Yeh Tested for months on end,
My goal is for a quality looking stream with what I have,
Using main rig drops fps big time in games like PUBG and Battlefield. 1440p at high refresh rates is already taxing as soon as I stream on main rig I lose about 20-30 FPS.
I have tested both cards in streaming PC now and I find the 980 is pushing a little bit more FPS wise for the viewers which is what I want.
Im Saving for a 4k Capture card as Ive now been told this is a good solution to have a quality stream for My type of monitor.

My only set back is the streaming PC has no PCI slot so I need to find a USB 3 equivalent card...... if there is one.
Also not sure if my  Viewsonic XG2703-GS QHD 165Hz Monitor will do its high refresh rates with HDMI with capture cards?

 

Goal:

1080p Stream 60 fps
5500 Bitrate
Main Rig being less taxed.

So I am going to be honest here,

I have done quicksync via the NDI plugin but never every thought to enable 7700ks gpu for this and embarrassed it never crossed my mind,

Just ran the stream using it and bam can at least do 1600x900 at 60 fps.

Thank you good sir this will do me until I can afford that damn 4k capture card.

Bah i was wrong there is heaps of tearing even at 720p 60fps.... i just cannot win this fight. High refresh and streaming is a pain in the ass.

@LoGiCalDrm

Figured it out.

My 1080p Cam was chewing heaps of the resources bumped it down to 720p helped heaps now run it at 480P
Frame rate Increased 10 fold now using NVENC (new) through the 1080TI.
