Will more ram reduce cpu %?

[Beam3k]

Hello I just had a question to ask anyone that can help me. I am currently running a 1660ti with a i7 3770 and 8gb of ram. I wanted to start streaming and was wondering if getting 16gb of ram would help by reducing my cpu load.

since you have a 1660ti, why not use nvenc?

True I could do that but doesn't it reduce the quality ?

No, adding ram will not reduce load But it will let you open more things at the same time

 

to reduce load you will either need a better cpu. which will probably require you to change your motherboard and ram if you are aiming for coffee lake cpus

 

if you aim for kaby/sky lake cpus (example i5 5600) you could simply buy a new cpu. Based on what motherboard you are using

I'm looking to upgrade the cpu to a ryzen 5 2600 eventually along with the ram and motherboard but I cant afford it at this moment due to Bills.

you will need a new motherboard... if you're on a budget. heres a good 120$ mobo

i'm not sure about ram and if you need new cause you didn't specify your ram

i will recommend a kit of 8x2 HyperX Fury DDR4 memory

not really, it's a different (and really light) way of streaming

You’ll need a complete new build. 

 

Ram, cpu, Mobo, GPU (if you don’t have one currently), maybe psu as well depending on your current

you will need to upgrade your cpu mobo and ram

based on newegg prices

GIGABYTE B450 AORUS ELITE

AMD RYZEN 5 2600

HyperX Fury 16GB (2 x 8GB)

are around 380 usd

 

There is a little cheaper option on here
