>>41966112Here's a rough cut of my "usual" zatsudan scene, albeit at 60 FPS (it throttles to like 50FPS with my GPU). Generally, going live instead of just doing a recording that i did for a test in obs isn't that much different, it just drains bandwidth but the CPU impact remains very low. CPU used to be a problem (i used to stream back on my Core2Duo E6550) but not anymore, not by a long shot. The upside of a fast CPU is insanely fast rendering time for offline content and generally smoother preview experience in the program. (rendering now is literally 20 times faster than my older i5 2500k that i retired a while ago)
My setup is very fringe though, if you don't use VNyan to cram an entire live unity scene into your stream my GPU would sit at like 30% comfortably + whatever a game is adding, although I don't play the most demanding games either. But yeah a cheap mid-range CPU is gonna do you good and mid-range these days nets you way more than I already have.
My setup is:
Ryzen 7 3700X (sorry i got that name wrong)
MSI Ventus 2060 (base version)
32GB RAM

I only upgrade whenever I really make a huge jump and on top of getting a GPU I want new screens too (I still have 12 year old 20 inch 1080p screens with horrible color accuracy that fucks me over in video editing) and I do have the money I just don't wanna spend recklessly. I'm decent at knowing what kind of performance i'm gonna need and I at least want to be futureproof for 2-6 years (my 2060 has lasted me like ... 4 years now?)
