Dedicated streaming PC for 1080p 60fps

[m0stlyt0astie]

Hi everyone, I wanted to get a dedicated streaming computer with an Elgato HD60 Pro and I was wondering if the i5 10500 would be enough to run the stream at 1080p 60fps. 

The graphics card I have in the system is an old HD 6670 but I was told CPU was more important. I also have 16gb of RAM in the system.

 

Will this be enough firepower to run a smooth 1080p 60fps stream?

 

(I don't have any overlays on the stream and It is not overly complex)

Well, I think that the best way to stream is with NVENC on the Nvidia RTX cards, way less performance loss than rendering on the CPU in my experience, unless you have something like a Ryzen 5900x.

 

But it should work on your i5 aswell

I hope it will work, for 1080p 60fps. I have high hopes

Capturing / streaming is not very cpu intensive.

For a dedicated streamer you can use i3 10100 with 8gb ram, and just use quicksync, should be enough.

Better if you have a gtx card like 1050ti. Nvenc is support from GTX 600 and above.

For AMD you can look up this list:

an i5-10500 isnt even gonna break a sweat running x264 encoding, probably up to like medium or something.
