Ok guys,so im looking for a bit budget friendly graphics card that would let me stream some League of Legends on 720p 60fps

Im thinking of getting a second hand gtx 970 for 210 euros,is it a great deal maybe? Because gtx 1060 is around 250eur,1050ti is at 190eur,rx470 is around 247 eur or even more. And i really wouldnt give more than 230eur for a gpu to be honest.

 

I am from Serbia so dont get shocked by the prices :D

 

 

My PC:

Gigabyte B250m-DS3H

Intel core i5 7400 3.0Ghz Kaby Lake

Kingston HyperX Fury 2x4gb 2400Mhz

Chieftec ECO series PSG-500 500 watt psu (12v at 37.5A)

Kingston Ssdnow v300 240gb

Shit... If you can get an rx580 8gb over the 1060 6gb do it. Otherwise get the 1060 6gb

Budget friendly? Second hand 970. I ran League, CS:GO way above 200FPS not even capping the 100% GPU usage nor VRAM usage. H264 hardware codec low impact overall, low cpu overhead even on OBS. 

 

Be sure to have at least 3Mb/s upload bandwidth, or it will suck a lot. Latency wise and blockiness wise. The bare minimum for 720@60fps is 2000~2500Kb/s bitrate, 4.500 being the sweet spot, but be sure to become a twitch partner if you aim to go higher than 2500Kb/s.

Remember to use H264 codec at medium preset and if available stick with CBR, the VBR gives horrible blockiness artifacts on quick transitions (fast moving camera, etc).  

 

All technical details for your endevoir can be found here with a huge ass glossary for the terms you will need to become familiar with.
