What cpu to stream?

xReCoiiLDaZe · Sep 21, 2017

I have an intel pentinum g4560 8gb 2133mhz ram gtx 1060 3gb and a h110m s2h mobo so I cant overclock my cpu

I was thinking about what cpu to get I thought a i5 7500 is good but what do u think?

Most quad cores are not fit for streaming, you should look at the Ryzen 5 1600 for this scenario.

If you want to stay on your current platform, you will need at least a quad core with SMT. I would look at a 6700/7700. That will be a big boost from your Pentium.

If you need to stay on your current motherboard an i7 6700/7700K would work but ideally you want at last 6C/112T for game streaming so something like the Ryzen R5 1600 or an Intel i7 7800X would be more suited to game streaming.

The intel core i7 will do the job just fine with 8 hyperthreding cores.

Yeah it can do the job but not well. This is well documented at this point 4C/8T CPUs should only be used for streaming if it is your only option. Jumping to 6C/12T is a world of difference in frame rate. This link has some of the best video I have seen making that point.

Point being 4C/8T CPU will work but it is not ideal and should not be a streamers first choice for a CPU.

The i7 can do the job pretty well even a core i5 can stream

The i7 7700K has more horsepower than the 6 core Ryzen 5. actually been closer tho the 8 core Ryzen 7

Will an i5 7600 work or shall I go for a i7 7700?

xReCoiiLDaZe :

The more cores the better, The i5 can stream but not as good as the i7 or a Ryzen 5 1600.

But you will be able to stream, it’s not that CPU expensive to stream nowadays, any good modern intel processor will handle it just fine. The lowest intel core i3 should still be able to stream if is paired to a capable graphics card.

If it was me, I would go with the 7700 or 6700. The 4 more threads will make a difference over the 7500 will make a difference. I would not pay more the for the "k" models. They are unlocked buy your motherboard cant overclock, so it is a feature you wont be able to use and the additional base clock speed is not worth the extra money. If you live near a microcenter, you can get a 7700 for $270.
