2 medium pc streaming or 1 strong pc streaming

[deceneu1]

hi can somebody give me an advice .

which one is the best choice ? buying a capture card and streaming from my actually 2 computers ? 

gaming pc : gtx 1060 + i7 4790k . 16 gb ram etc 

streaming pc : fx 6350 + r9 380x nitro 8 gb rami etc 

 

OR selling both of them and buying an i7 7700k + a gtx 1080 . 16 ram etc . 

whats the best thing to do ? i want to stream cs go . which of this 2 setups will be better?

I would easily go with 1 strong PC. I would go with Ryzen however since they have more cores which would be beneficial for streaming/gaming at the same time.

Well your gaming pc is fine to stream as well but if u really wanted to get a new system I would go with ryzen instead especially if your going to be streaming you would get better performance for the price.

1, two is just a waste of money, especially when only 3 people watch your stream.

Get a r7 1700

if you already have a second rig available, its a nice option, especially if your stream is of the sort where the cost of a capture card is an easy decision.

 

but as previously mentioned.. for small time streamers the extra cost, space requirement (remember, two towers, each with a display, keyboard, and mouse), and setup work isnt worth the potential increase in production quality.

Get a 1700, beats the 7700k to a pulp in streaming.

the thing is i already have those 2 computers , i dont mind to have 2 comps 3 screens etc , my question is , should i buy a capture card and connect those 2 or should i sell both of them and make 1 strong ? which will perform better ?

[deceneu1]

i dont really want to make a new one cuz takes alot of time , i want an opinion , which is better a new strong pc or i can go with this 2 which i have and buy capture card to connect them . but if a new one is alot better i will go with a new one

Unless you have several thousand dollars to make both PCs very powerful, one will be better.

Are you making thousands of dollars a month from streaming? No? Then maybe stop wasting money...

well.. 4790k does the gaming stuff very well, the other rig is a bit of a relic tho.. wouldnt call awesomeness on its streaming performance. that said, all he'd need to do is buy a capture card and he'd be up and running now (he said cs:go, dont need more than a 1060 for cs:go).

 

the other option is flipping all he has now, and buying all new gear, which is a bit more involved.

 

that said.. cs:go... for fucks sake just use the 4790k & 1060.. it's plenty..

Then you can literally just encode with NVENC or quicksync and get perfectly fine streaming quality.

I highly doubt that the three people that watch will be able to see a difference, especially since most people watch at lower quality due to slow internet.

The only reason to spend thousands of dollars on a streaming setup is if it is actually your job and you make lots of money from it.

if you need the edge in production quality to grow your channel as a buisiness, is probably the better way of putting things.

 

it's not because you get hella dough out that you need to put hella dough back in, its because when it becomes a buisiness, growth isnt only important, its essential.

I can tell you right now that having slightly better encoding quality will make ZERO difference in getting noticed streaming.

exactly why i said "as a buisiness".

 

a small stream isnt a buisiness
