NVENC on different generations

So I just upgraded from an i5 3570 to an i7 3770 for the meanwhile.

 

Next thing I was thinking is upgrading my GTX 970.. I was thinking of buying a 2nd hand 1070 but I would also like to have an increase in streaming quality even for a bit.. I moslty stream on nvenc on 3000kpbs

 

Does the difference in generations between 9 series nvidia and 10 series nvidia a big difference in streaming quality? Or should I consider buying a gtx 1660? (not sure if the gtx 1660 has the turing encoder)

Depends.

 

If you are doing h264. The answer is no. If you're doing h265, the answer is a definite yes. (nv_hevc is h265)

1660 is of course the best option and yes NVENC gets better over different generations. Yes 1660 has Turing's encoder, only the 1650 so far has a different one (1650S has Turing's encoder)

How much of a difference was from upgrading to the i7? is it worth it or the i5 would still work well?

It was good for me to upgrade from an i5 to an i7 since the game I mostly play would peg my old i5 at almost 100% even when doing nothing now it sits around 65-90% usage but milage varies wildly per title so I couldn't say much but if you can get your hands on an i7 for cheap they are still decent for gaming since 4 threads are somewhat considered low these days
