5900x performance loss while streaming.

[CadeRox]

Hi, been looking for answers for a while but everywhere I look there is no straight answer. When streaming on obs, If I choose to encode with my cpu, how much performance loss will I find in my games? is it a big enough margin to where I should get a nvidia gpu and just use their Nvenc encoder?. 5900x cpu, radeon rx 5600xt gpu.

How long is a piece of string?

Well that depends, what do you play, what encoder settings do you use? I mean if im streaming runescape im pretty sure our 5900x will do just fine. If im streaming work related stuff where i let my 5900x sit at 100% load for hours on end, fairly certain its going to affect the performance, yes.

Generally speaking there are not all that many games that I know of that could make use of all the cores the 5900x have so I doubt there would much much of any issue. Though it is simple enough to test, hop in to OBS and get going and see what happens and you will find out yourself how much it affects it or not.

There is no "about 5%" answer, because it is completely situation dependent. Your setup, your configuration, whatever game it is your streaming. Thats what will determine the end result. Fairly certain I read twitch has a test mode where you can test things out without actually going live on their site, use that.

good to know twitch has a test mode, also I will be streaming mainly valorant, rust, and other games 1080p. Ill have to see what encoder settings im going to be using.

You have to live in a dream world to think a 5900X can't handle basic settings Valo streaming. /thread 2.

Just wondering if there is a performance impact. dont want that over just using nvenc.

You can't use NVENC as of now anyway, there's an impact but it'll be low enough to not be worth speaking of.

As was mentioned, you can try it and check CPU usage / whatnot. This is simple stuff.

K dude. every thread that I have seen you in you have been a dick to people. Not everyone knows everything and that is why were asking questions. Its not all "simple stuff" to people. They are obviously asking for a reason.

Well you're double triple threading and asking something so simple. The reason why it's so simple is, the CPU usage and other bits such as drops are right there on your streaming app's page showing the stuff you want to know...
