I will provide details about my current configuration if that helps the community in answering my question:
Motherboard: Asus P9X79 LE
Processor: Intel X79 Intel i7-3820
Memory: 4x4GB 1600MHZ
Power supply: Xtremegear 800W
Graphics: EVGA GTX 660 Ti 2GB
Monitor: 2 x Samsung 23" S23A350H (Both monitors are set to 1980 x 1080.)
I am looking to upgrade my graphics card and purchase either the GTX 760 2GB or 4GB.
I play League of Legends on max settings and I have no problems. I easily achieve 60 FSP if I select V-Sync and without that option, I obtain 110+ FPS.
The issue arises when I decided to stream on Twitch.tv, using Open Broadcast Software. That's when my FPS drops considerably into the 30's. The game becomes a bit choppy.
I would still like to play LOL on max settings (as long as I can obtain 60 FPS on V-Sync), while having the ability to stream at least 720 as well.
I was wondering whether the 4GB, the extra 2GB of VRAM, would alleviate this problem. However, I've read that for the 760, 4GB is a waste of money since it won't be able to fully utilize all the VRAM.
I do have a budget of about $400-$500, so probably looking at GTX 760 or GTX 770. I would like to note that I am ONLY looking to purchase a nVidia card (not AMD). I would prefer a single upgrade card over buying another GTX 660Ti and doing an SLI. However, if a single card within my budget does not suffice, but SLI would alleviate the problem, then I will do that.
