How do people have gaming PCs and then separate PCs to stream the media to Twitch?! I never got how that worked and I think I want to do it if it's affordable.

I don't really know but I guess you could easily have your content stream to one pc over your own network so the delay would be minimal and then it relies on that programs processing to upload it, only taking a guess though

@tp95112 is correct about the process. They do that to decrease the load on the gaming system, and to have a higher quality stream.

One PC is used for the game, and it's outputting video to another PC with a capture card which is then doing all the streaming stuff.
