Deciding on a Streaming CPU

I'd say 4690K.

Posted

So I want to get into speedrunning a console game. I have all the equipment, I've been getting it over the past 2 years, and I know how to set it all up, but I have two choices right now to base my actualy PC System on. I own an FX-8350, and an i5-4690k. Which of these would be the best choice for streaming. I'm sure either would record the gameplay just fine, but I assume streaming is going to be a bit more stressfull. I really appreciate any help anyone can give me. I assume it would be the 8350 for it's hyperthreading, but I just want some outside opinions.

Just for the higher performance, even with a lower amount of cores I think it will beat it out. Unless you also game on PC, then 8350.

No the PC is going to be used completely for recording, and the occasional stream. So 4690k it is.

(didn't see you also had a Ryzen 5 system for PC Gaming when required, sorry)

Any reason your signature rig can't be used for the streaming considering it out classes the other 2 at that function?

Don't have the hard drive space on that rig, it's used almost exclusively for gaming.

Then pick one up? A drive is like $99 for a 3TB Barracuda
