choosing an encoder and streaming with 5mbps upload
2 minutes ago, jagomaster74 said:so if i use NVENC over x264? the reason im asking is because i have an elgato hd60 pro which connects to the pci-e slot in my computer. I use the capture card for recording my xbox, but i also want to use it to record my pc and want to know if there will be any preformance loss by using the gpu based encoder over the cpu based encoder.
There should be almost no, if any, performance loss while using NVENC for either set-up. If you'd like to check your streaming performance, you can add something to the end of your stream key (I forgot it, but you can find it on your dashboard) to test stability and performance of your stream. You an also use the r1ch site to probe your stream while streaming to test performance. Just remember to remove the flag from your stream key when you intend to actually stream, if you use that method.
