Specs ?

Can you not use h264 ? 

If you can't wait nor use h264 

Get a 5600xt 

If you can stretch your budget a little more get a 2060 for nvec h265

If you are going to be streaming I don't think you should be getting a GPU that cheap.

What does that even mean ?!

I think a 1660 SUPER would be a great choice. It's really under 300$, but it's a great value, and you got that strong NVENC encoding capabilites.

If you'll be streaming go for NVIDIA:

or

They are not the best models of the 2060 but for Streaming with the NVENC Encoder they will both do fine and don't look terrible either.

If someone did not use reason to reach their conclusion in the first place, you cannot use reason to convince them otherwise.

Starting to wonder if you're the site's "must always be right" member... I certainly sense a level of superiority about you & I've only been here about a week.

**I frequently edit any posts you may quote; please check for anything I 'may' have amended.**

 

Current PC spec. in my profile.
Can I realistically call myself a gamer, if I only play ONE, twenty year old game...?

Did you test boot it, before you built in into the case?

WHY NOT...?!

If you don't care about having to go to a manufacturer for the balance warranty too much, after 90 days. Sign up to the forums on OCUK and post in the customer service section asking what their best price on any of these (they are willing to barter on the B-Grade stuff, and it's usually just customer returns they can't sell as brand new as the package has been opened or similar). Pretty much guarantee you can get the Palit 2070 for £300 at most, and possibly on at least one of the 5700XTs also at the very least.
