    When setting up my streaming PC it gave me a lot of hassle and research to do.
    At first I thought "huh, I have an Elgato HD60 Pro in my main rig, and spare PC parts from upgrades... let's make a streaming PC!"
    In my head, using the HDMI from my main PC to the capture card, then using the HDMI output on the capture card to my monitor would be the least of the issues. I am getting a video signal, and it's recording it so what could go wrong?
    Well here's a list of things I researched and eventually fixed:
    - I want my mic plugged into my main rig, and to talk to my friends on Discord through my main rig.
    - Having desktop audio split to my headphones AND the second rig.
    - Using the HDMI output on the capture card locked me to 60fps (when I use a 144Hz monitor) and introduced noticeable input lag.
    - Using a dedicated HDMI to the capture card, and two cables plugged straight into the monitor. How would I duplicate the DisplayPort and HDMI to the capture card and keep audio?
    - Using RDP prevented me from using an external 3.5mm aux in and optical in. And I wanted to keep RDP because it allowed me to stream my mic natively while plugged into my main rig.
    - Creating the least hassle possible (i.e. using only 1 mouse and 1 keyboard for both rigs, file transfers, and generally making it seamless and quick).
    - Fixing x264 lag on an i7 6700k which is more than powerful to handle x264 at 1080p 60.
    - Getting video, audio (mic and desktop duplicated), and file transfers to all be duplicated to both systems with no fuss or pre-setup.
    It took a bit, but I can now happily just turn on my streaming PC, launch a remote desktop and stream straight away with NO side effects. I can record videos and access the file instantly on my main rig. If anyone is having ANY issues with setting up a second rig just leave a reply. :)

      The thing is i won't be gaming on the pc, so my existing laptop can't render fast paced games like apex, plus i didn't have an elgato hd60 then, so

    @CoDEmanX47 6 лет назад +1

    +Techquickie Using NVENC to send the video signal to another computer on your LAN to transcode it there to a streaming bitrate is indeed a good option to avoid a capture card. But: What is the recommended setup here? As far as I can tell, you need an RTMP server to receive the pre-compressed content on the transcoding machine (e.g. Nginx with RTMP module) if you want to get the signal back into OBS, transcode and transmit to Twitch or whatever service. Are there other options, like using FFMPEG for transcoding? Both options kind of worry me, because I have no clue how reliable it would be. When I tested a low latency setup with Nginx as RTMP relay, OBS lost the incoming stream quite easily in case of a CPU spike or other events that occur every now and then. Or the latency varied each time. Additional latency in general is a huge problem IMO. Twitch is currently rolling out a low latency option and I've seen streams with 2.3s of total delay to broadcaster. If transcoding adds like 5 extra seconds because of buffers on both sides plus encoding and network, then that is not really a good alternative to an internal capture card and a powerful CPU to do everything on a single machine.

    Forget about 1080p 60fps (actually , what the hell) and forget about your second PC dedicated to streaming only. Throw some benchmark from some games that are ANY relevant on twitch (was that Atila total war ? are you guys kidding me) and FORGET ABOUT shadow play (one button does it all means no way to tweak the output)
    FOR BEGINNERS : Dual ENCODING setup: H.264 (CPU intensive but crispy , 3500 kbps tops) for anything that is not CPU intensive and NVENC (here you can go up to 6500kbps with no meaningull performance impact ) for everything else (PUBG ,OW ,DOTA2,LoL) (set up on OBS Studio ,forget , AGAIN about Shadow Play)
    This is how I've been streaming for over 2 years. No upgrades needed before hand. Everything I know comes from something I read on the internet and my own testing. This video feels rushed AF
    (I still love y'all , but stop telling people they need to expend money to start to do something when they dont and the video is not even sponsored by any of thse companies.)

    You can completely transcode with your GPU, for those who has a 4 core CPU and struggles with streaming. As long as you have a GPU better than a 1050 ti, depends again what you want to stream. Usually games like Fortnite, CS:GO, Overwatch, League of Legends can be streamed on a 1050 ti, but it will be quite hard for the GPU, so get at least a 1060 or an RX 570 or better.

    You can use nvenc on OBs to stream with minimal overhead. Doing so only uses 5% cpu and 5-10% GPU instead of making it CPu only at 25% on a 4 core 8 thread processor. Trust me I know. People complain nvenc quality is poor but it is pretty decent on the GTx9 and GTx10 series

    To stream, you don't need a pc... you need a BIG LIT AF corsair case which can contain a full atx and a mini atx comupter CONTEMPORARLY and use the atx (rgb) one to game and the MITX to encode and stream. That's how Linus should do... cus it's never too overkill for Linus.

    I appreciate the Video, but I think some of the wording might give people a wrong impression.
    While a setup of 2 "enthusiast" PCs (one minus the GPU) is indeed superior to a single high-end gaming PC having to handle both, using 2 machines is usually a much cheaper option.
    Also, I think you severely underestimate some old Hardware or overestimate the demand for a "average" Streamer.
    For once, you can only count on a variable resolution feature on Twitch, which requires certain criteria to be met. According to Twitch's FAQ, about 0,85% of the streamers are partners. So if you'd stream at 1080p60, a lot of people with slow internet (or data limits i.E. on Mobile) won't be able to watch your stream.
    Also, old CPU like the Xeon X3440 / X3450 are perfectly fine unless you go crazy with the settings.

      DR01D_Qs although you CAN stream with NVENC without losing much performance, the quality suffers compared to a x264 encoder; which means that you will need a higher bitrate for equal quality.

    • @Azureskies01
      @Azureskies01 6 лет назад +1

      Because x264 is way better right now. Tell Nvidia to put some money into making NVENC useful. A R5 1600 or better is all you need to stream most games right now.

    • @DR01DQs
      @DR01DQs 6 лет назад +1

      CrazyWeeMonkey well yes, I know because I stream with NVENC a lot. And to do that, all you need is 15Mb internet (lower values in Russia means living in a cave where you don't even have a PC) to put like 8-10k bitrate. It is unquestionably cheaper than buying a beast CPU, not to mention near to no performance cost at all compared to x264

    a 1070/1080 coding with nvenc can look pretty good when using restream.io and then sending to twitch, and or using ftl on mixer. you dont need a high end cpu for a second pc in this method. Magewell and ELgato have good 4k Capture cards. Sometimes i wish they would do a proper series on building rigs in different scenarios. Such as... audio issues, capture cards, using cpu and gpu encoding, creating your own transcoder, etc. there is so much half ass information out there that it leads people to spending way more then they really need to. Also, twitch has upped its bitrate as well. Believe it or not, but i find that i get better picture on twitch by not using twitch's ingest servers and instead use restream. I dont know why it looks way better than the potato output that twitch does for non partners but it works. its a serious option for free that people should be looking into

    Linus, CPU encoding your stream is so 2016. All Nvidia GPUs starting from GTX 900 gen and up support excellent hardware stream encoding. This means you can stream at 5500kbps, 1920x1080 (or greater!) at 60 fps with NO CPU OVERHEAD. I am streaming World of Tanks which is super sensitive about CPU overhead, my fps went from 70-90 to 120 by simply switching from my Xeon 2687W 8c/16t to a GTX 1070's built-in hardware encoder. Plus, while the Xeon certainly could not handle streaming at steady 60 fps output, the GPU does.

    You can stream well on an R5 1600 too. I can stream 2013ish games at 1080p 60 without influencing game or stream quality. But for games such as WWII or Battlefield One, 720 with 32bit sharpening still looking incredibly sharp and doesn't impact performance. It happens to look just as good as 1080p anyways :p

    @ShikuTeshi 6 лет назад

    Forgot to mention GPU encoding as a cheap option if you don't wanna blow extra money on a higher end or new CPU. Almost all moderm graphics cards have the ability to stream using their own processing power instead of your CPU without any noticeable impact. This also comes with the benefit of freeing up threads that could be used for other programs in the background such as, other than your game, voice chat, stream chat, music, and cat videos. While CPU encoding provides a higher quality stream, it has to be set fairly intense with at least 4 physical cores to get the edge over GPU encoding quality. That means 8 threads become unusable for other things. So while you can scratch by with a 6-core, the quality compared to GPU encoding while maintaining playable framerates isn't worth it.

    It's not difficult to stream even on a lower end PC. I streamed on an i5-3570 and 960 with no issue. If you want to stream x264 then yes, cpu is the deciding factor, but you can use NVENC which, despite reports to the contrary, is very good quality. Also, don't bother even thinking about 1080/60 unless you have a separate rig, and even then. Most streamers do 720/60

      Interesting question. I've never seen videos streamed greater than 60fps, so I assume you'd just capture at 60Hz like normal and it will drop some of your frames. The monitor shouldn't make a difference, it doesn't affect how many frames your GPU puts out. Even people with 60Hz monitors will be outputting varying framerates from their GPU, so there must be a way to deal with it.

      Happy Farmer If you’re streaming with software, e.g. OBS, on the game host, you just set the streaming rate and resolution to whatever is needed; it’s independent of the gameplay. If capturing with hardware on a second PC, you could try setting the graphics card to use two, duplicate, outputs. One via DP at 144Hz and the second via HDMI at 60Hz. If it works it would allow you to continue gaming at 144 while streaming from the 60 Hz source; just ignore the elgato’s passthrough. There is a 4K elgato PCIe card, just released that uses an HDMI specification capable of that higher bandwidth.
