Hello guys, i am going to build a new pc and i am going to run i7 6700k for streaming purposes.
So i was wondering what video card to buy...
First of all i though of the gtx 1060 because i probably won't need to change it in the next couple of years... Then i though that the i7 6700k was expensive enough and i dont need that powerful video card for streaming those non graphic intensive games...
Submit your suggestions.
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
HarD

Why get gtx950 when you will be able to get rx470 4GB for less, and it will outperform the 950?

Gigabyte is a brand not a GPU XD
 
Nobody uses CPU cores for streaming anymore...intel has quicksync and nvidia has nvenc,amd also has something like that by I don't remember how it's called.
Hardware accelerated h264 capture that doesn't affect performance at all or just a tiny bit.

Haswell celeron and gt650, lol@1080/max settings/60FPS recording and the game runs at 100FPS+
