Dual twitch streaming setup

[Shyam sanathara]

I have intel i5-4690k asus gtx 960 4 gb graphics card and 8 gb ddr3 ram. And i am planning to use this pc as a streaming pc so does it work 1080p stream or not?

Depends on settings, but it should be fine.

Will it work? Yes

What is your target resolution/fps? Do you prefer x264, or NVENC? What bitrate can you stream at?

I want to stream at 1080p 60 fps and I don’t know which one to choose h264 or nvenc and 3000 bitrate

x264 would do better at 3000kbps, but the fact you're using a quad core may limit your encoding efficiency, especially at 1080/60. If you wanted to stream at 6000kbps, I'd say go NVENC, but x264 produces a better image at lower bitrates.

 

Here's some good user configured encoding settings if you wanted to try x264.

I use the C configuration, albeit slightly modified, on my Ryzen 7 1700 for 1080/60. Honestly, they produce much better results than using the x264 presets. I'd say give those a try before using NVENC. However, if you find you can't get the image quality you want, I'd definitely suggest dropping down to either 1080/30, 900/60, or 720/60. NVENC at 720/60 should look decent at 3000kbps as well.

Oh thank you so much for your help I will definitely try these settings

You're welcome. Good luck

Gonna get a capture card for it or actually do it the hard way? Should be enough for 1080p@60 frames. My main rig is my streaming rig.

And i have one more problem when ever I install fresh copy of windows and after installing the driver and when I restart the pc it wont start up and sometimes blue screen appear whats is the problem hdd or ram?

The blue screen will tell you why it’s blue screening. You can google a BSOD viewer. Also didn’t answer the question at all.
