4790K - Streaming Pass through

[TheWhiteRose000]

A while back I was reading a thing about streamers using secondary computers to handle their streaming exclusively.

After much debate I've I'm going to work on just building a modern proper system instead of dumping my money into a 4790k that

although a good CPU won't be able to continue to hold up to future cpus.

 

So I got to thinking, could I use the 4790K system exclusively for a streaming pass through to unload the games I'm playing on a 12 core 3900x?

Essentially taking everything I am playing from one system or the main system that's capturing console ect and camera feeds and running it through to another system using the 4790K

and streaming from that computer.

 

Would it be able to handle 4K streaming? 1080p?

Would I need a powerful graphics card for that, feedback would be appreciated.

CPU is well capable for 1080p streaming. I don't know about 4k, but honestly, if you are starting streaming, you don't need 4k. People watch for content, not video quality. You would need to setup NDI or get capture card for using another PC as encoding machine.
