Streaming Laptop?

[knight_turf]

I wasn't so sure what section this falls under so i apologise in advance in case i've posted it in the wrong one.

 

Now to get to it, I have this gaming laptop that i foolishly bought 2-3 years ago which i did not use near to at all, now i intend to begin to stream and i would like to know that if only being used to stream as a streaming PC or laptop in this case will this cut it? The reason that i ask this question is so i know whether its worth attempting to sell or simply using it.

CPU | i7 6700HQ, 4 Cores, 2.6 GHz base clock speed

GPU - 1070 8GB GDDR5

RAM - 2X8GB DDR4 2400

I presume that this is all the necessary information regarding this question if anything else is necessary please let me know.

Should be fine for streaming. If you struggle with performance try using NVENC encoding instead of software.

If it’s decent, could you sell it on eBay>?

Yeah should work fine, I've streamed BL2 from a laptop running a 6700HQ and a 960m, except the laptop was also running the game, so should have no problems just doing the streaming part.

I am going to run some tests with data and if it doesn't work this is an option. Thanks for your response!
