Graphic Cards: I have 2 graphics cards on my laptop, I have a onboard intel 4000 graphics card and a Nvidia K2000m out of these cards which is best to use for streaming while gaming? I thought it was the Nvidia card but I read somewhere a few days ago that you should not use a quadro card, so thought I would get a second opinion.

CPU: I have a Intel Core i7-3610QM in my laptop is this enough to be able to stream while playing games because obviously the game and streaming program are both processor heavy?

You might be able to stream, but it will be laggy. Use the k2000m though.

Could you explain why it would be laggy?

It's an older graphics card and laptops aren't meant for heavy duty tasks like streaming, let alone streaming while playing demanding games.

@zeph this laptop is made for heavy duty stuff like rendering and Game Design lol. I can handle games at max quality. I am more thinking about if it's good to multiple task while playing as streaming requires a lot of resources :p

because you have a laptop, the cpu is an i7 but still not high clocked thus pretty weak aswell is the gpu (s)
