streaming

[Bliznipa]

1080p, 60+ FPS. What is the minimum cpu recommendation for streaming fps games like call of duty without dropping frames? Obviously I want to spend as little as possible while providing the highest quality stream possible. I live near a micro center so prices can be pretty good. I'm debating whether to go with 4690k + MSI krait mobo (~285$U.S. at microcenter) or go with a 5820k and $180 ish mobo as that's about right for ddr4 mobos (so ~500$U.S. total at microcenter). I don't intend on going to 1440p any time soon. 

 

Any help is appreciated. Thanks

tbh just go the 4690k route, if your going video rendering route 5820k

You will need more cores, Tomshardware mentions the Intel Xeon E3-1231v3 as a viable option for streaming games. http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/best-cpus,3986.html

 

Quote: "The Xeon's price is about $20 higher than the Core i5-4690K. One gives you plenty of headroom to overclock. The other enables Hyper-Threading. Depending on the applications you run in the background while you game (streaming, anyone?), four extra logical cores could be the better choice. "
