AMD or Nvidia for Streaming

[Andrievski]

As in the Title mentioned, which Brand would be better for streaming Amd or Nvidia?

I know Nvidia got the Shadowplay application but if i would choose AMD would be there a big difference between OBs and Shadowplay?

There would be less of a performance hit using ShadowPlay. AMD has their own equivalent software now, but from what I have heard, GameDVR isn't that amazing.

nvidia has a mature app for streaming

AMD is just starting

 

or u can just use OBI (uses intel's onboard H264 encoder)

if you're using OBS and have a intel CPU, just set it up to use your IGPU/quicksync. works ALOT better and i don't really lose much framrate. ps i'm using a pentium dualcore when i stream.

I though about going for OBS if i would choose an AMD Gpu.

I would. It doesn't look bad@720p http://www.twitch.tv/pjammin/b/555314728 that's using these seting here    .

 

 

doesn't really fuck with my framrate in wow 25 man raiding that bad(wow raiding is really cpu heavy in 25 man raids), i still stay over 30-40 fps...... keep in mind i'm using a dualcore Pentium.....

Just go for the one that suits your other needs the better. GameDVR will almost certainly be as good as shadowplay soon so that isn't really a factor imo. Either way, I always recommend an R9 290 if you have the budget, it's the best high end card you can get for price/performance at the moment.

I though about AMD because i am a bit dissapointed from Nvidia, even if i am an Nvidia fanboy i slowly turn to the red side.

What is whit the r9 290x?

It's just not worth the extra money over the 290 imo. 100 bucks for 10% extra performance doesn't seem like a great deal to me. If you have doubts on which one to get, the sapphire vapor-x is the best one on the market but it is kind of expensive, so to spare some money you could go for the asus dcuii or sapphire tri-x instead.

I heard that the asus direct cu2 cooler isn't very good.

I saw that the R9 290 Powercolour PCS is currently on a sale so i maybe gonna for this one.

I have one, no complaints. Maybe I'll post a review later down the line so I can fix some of the bad press it's getting for no real reason

yeah I have an asus 660ti and it runs pretty cool, but I'm not sure how it compares to other manufacturers is what I meant.
