My PC has a 1050ti which is far enough to play all games on highest settings (in Combi with i7 8700). Since I'm a creator / streamer and I also want to capture hardware-demanding games like (Rainbow or Xplane11), my video card does not do this anymore, the game is jerky and the recording itself is felt in 2 FPS and graphics errors are everywhere.
I have after some searches on the Internet asked me the question is more useful is an additional (2nd Graphics card) (I need there in addition to my 250Watt power supply a better?) Or rather a capture card?
Question about Capture Card: Is it that I take a capture card only for a PC so not PS4 or so, and then run the recordings normally and as if I gamble normal without recording software (OBS) in the background or are there any restrictions? And do I need an additional power supply for an Internal Capture Card? And what capture card would you recommend me (need only 1080p)?
Question GPU: Can you tell the PC that he should gamble on a graphics card and on the other only recording and streaming? And would that make sense? Which video card would be suitable for OBS or would prefer to use the 1050 for OBS and to gamble better? And does my power supply withstand an additional GPU?
Processor: I7 8700
MainBoard: AsusTUFz370
GPU: MSI GTX 1050ti Gaming
RAM: 16GB Corsair RGB 2600mhz
120gbSSD 2tbHDD
Corsair H67 I think water cooling
Power supply: Corsair 250Watt power supply (maybe there are only 200)
Corsair RGB Case
+ additional RGB fans and stripes
GPU would pay more.
The power adapter is no more graphics card in it. A capture card is probably the best option
The other with a second GPU will be rather difficult. Since it would be almost more worthwhile to sell the GTX 1050Ti and then only have a strong card in the system.
You do not need a capture card, you just have to adjust your settings accordingly. The capture card is there to pick a video signal, nothing more.
Your 1050 Ti has with the NVENC an encoder that is just fine for encoding the stream. This works practically without loss of performance.
Alternatively, you can even use Intel Quick Sync.
Which attitudes do you have at the moment with OBS?
And last but not least, you have to keep in mind that the 1050 Ti is relatively limited in performance, so you can't simply turn the settings on the attack with the biggest graphics freaks.
Thank you.
With pleasure.
