Game Streaming Investigation: Which Quality Settings Are Best?

[Julio Franco]

In the next weeks we'll dedicate a couple of articles to game streaming and provide you with a definitive answer on what sort of setup is the best, and what quality settings make the most sense to use. Today's investigation is focused on streaming quality settings.

Why are you using 3rd-party application OBS instead of GeForce Experience and AMD ReLive?

Back in January Tom's hardware did a good comparison of CPUs and streaming - generally concluding you need at least 6 cores and preferably 8 if you want to up the encoding quality settings. I look forward to the next couple of articles on Techspot as an update.

Any Quicksync?

Too bad this doesn't cover ReLive, because that's what I would use with an AMD GPU. There might be a significant performance/quality advantage if you use the native applications with both cards.

Going live is not perfect, but that's the nature of the beast, used both AMD and NVIDIA, prefer shadow play.

Thats funny how what they said makes sense.
I was telling some other guy on another thread to go the intel hexa-core route.
No matter how good any cpu quadcore is, when you start encoding, while gaming, streaming.
It'll need a good beefy hexa or octa core to keep things smooth as ice.

Back on Sandy Bridge. Intel Quick Sync laughs at both Nvidia and AMD. I wonder what about now.

I highly doubt that especially with amd inc improving over the years.
They acquired some new good engineers from intel.
Nvidia will always outdue intels gpu department.
That company is determined not to be outdone by anyone.
