[Can a i7 6700K Twitch stream (really good quality) and play games at the same time? (single PC setup)]
This has been asked before, and I know that this CPU is fully capable of streaming a game and playing at the same time. My questions is can it stream WELL.
I see a lot of people on Twitch running dual PC setups, where one PC is dedicated to streaming, and they are using another PC strictly for gaming. This way the loads are separated and the streaming PC can just focus on streaming and nothing else. These streams look very very good, with basically zero quality loss.
My question is; can a single PC setup with a 6700K stream just as well with (basically) zero quality loss? Currently I have a laptop with a i7 4710HQ which I use as a dedicated streaming (laptop) PC, but that processor can't handle streaming well enough to get to the quality I am looking for. I was thinking of just selling my 2500K and upgrading to a 6700K but I don't have the money to build a separate PC outright (otherwise I'd play on the 2500K and stream on the 6700K).
Games I will be streaming are games like Battlefield 1, WoW, and other games alike. The reason I bring this up is that I hear games like WoW use a lot more CPU usage than other single players games or FPS games.
I think you understand what I am looking for at this point. Can the 6700K do it?
