Which is better, Streaming on the same laptop or using 2 laptops

[deific_jam]

So I have 2 average laptops, handed down by my elders. One is i5 10500H @2.5GHz, RTX 3050 gb, 32gb @2933 MT/s which is my primary gaming device, another is i5 8265U, Nvidia MX130 2gb and 16gb ram @2400MT/s on which I'm planning to stream using a capture card. My primary laptop's gpu is also damaged, for some reason it's clock speed is stuck to 250MHz, using Afterburner I keep it at 1012MHz while gaming. I wanted to know which would be more easy on the gpu of the primary, displaying on a second screen and using a capture card or just recording and streaming on the same device?

I don't think the MX130 supports NVENC, so it won't really give you any advantage to offload streaming onto it, and trying to use OBS and processor encode on that 8265U might not really work. The only thing that might save that setup for a streaming machine is if you can use the QuickSync on that Intel chip to do the encoding. If your 3050 isn't working correctly it may or may not be capable of encoding correctly either. If repasting that 3050 could fix your clockspeed problems then using it alone would be good because NVENC is great.
