You can already stream with your system, and at 720P that will be no trouble for you.

If your using OBS, make sure to use the built in NVIDIA NVEC chip for streaming, it will put all the video rendering onto the GPU instead of your slow CPU.

but if i upgrade to core i5 will it work perfectly?

TechyInAZ · Nov 7, 2016

LyXyzzz :

If you upgrade or not your streaming should be perfect anyways.

However, the core i5 would allow you to stream at 1080P.

would it be worth it?

TechyInAZ · Nov 7, 2016

LyXyzzz :

Do you play anything more demanding like Battlefield and Titanfall 2?

LyXyzzz · Nov 8, 2016

i play bf 1

TechyInAZ · Nov 8, 2016

LyXyzzz :

Ah ok. Yes it would be beneficial to upgrade then.

LyXyzzz · Nov 8, 2016

so my build will be

MOBO: MSI Z170A-G43 Plus
PROCIE:Intel Core i5-6600K
RAM:GSkill Ripjaws V 8GB Single DDR4 2400 CL15 (F4-2400C15S-8GVR)
GPU:Gigabyte Xtreme GTX 950 2gb ddr5
PSU:Corsair 500m
COOLER: CoolerMaster Hyper 212x
SSD: Adata SP550 120GB Sata3 6GB/s SSD
HDD: WD CAVIAR BLUE 1tb

LyXyzzz :

Everything looks solid except for the PSU. Is that the CX500 or the CX500M?

TechyInAZ :

The card alone allows him to record at 1080p and even 60FPS,almost no CPU overhead at all especially if he is using shadowplay/geforce experience,OBS has a bit of CPU overhead but even with that there would be no problems.

Even a celeron can record a solid 1080p@60FPS through the GPU.

TerryLaze :

That's a bad comparison, any modern computer can run a game that is over 6 years old and stream at the same time.

Give me a celeron/i3 streaming Crysis 3 or Battlefield 4/1 at 1080P 60fps in shadowplay WITHOUT lag and I'll believe you.

Unfortunately just because the GPU does all the encoding DOESN'T mean the CPU isn't doing anything, the CPU still does a small amount of encoding for video and does all the audio encoding.

LyXyzzz · Nov 8, 2016

its a CX500M btw

TechyInAZ · Nov 8, 2016

LyXyzzz :

Good. The newer CX500M lineup is one of Corsairs better PSUs.

TechyInAZ :

You can record at whatever framerate you normally get,the CPU overhead for recording is between 2 and 2.5% on the slowest haswell celeron,the faster your cpu the lower this will be.
Look at nvspcaps64.exe in process hacker,that's all the amount of lag you will ever get.

You said the i5 will allow him to stream at 1080 and that's just not so,the i5 will allow him to have better FPS in games generally,the GPU alone will allow him to record at 1080 at whatever FPS his CPU can pull off.

Point taken. For GPU accelerated streaming his CPU is fine. I keep getting that confused with CPU only streaming.
