Stickey Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 What's up all! I've been streaming pretty regularly for a few weeks now and its been fun, but I've been seeing the need to upgrade. My PC has a Ryzen 2600 16GB RAM and a RX580. Pretty modest and probably isnt the greatest streaming machine especially with VR, which is all I stream. Now here's the kicker, I stream these games to my headset via Virtual Desktop so it needs to encode that signal and the stream at the same time over the same network cable. While streaming I dont get many hiccups at all, besides some compression issues on my end and on the stream. Once this GPU pandemic ends I plan to upgrade, but would I see any benefit going to a 2.5G switch? I feel like im bottle necked through a 1 gig pipe streaming both to the world and my VR headset at the same time. Thanks for any advice!

Keyser_Soze Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 Do you have a streaming PC and a PC for gaming or do you do it all on the same PC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do it all on one PC. I kind of figured out what I would have to do to limit the bottleneck. On a 2 PC setup I would need to connect both PC's directly to the router instead of a switch, but would need to get a capture card (assuming my router can handle multiple gigs at once). If I go with the 2.5g switch, I would need to purchase an additional wireless router to not cap out the one line going out from my switch to my router.

Stickey Posted April 12, 2021 Author Share Posted April 12, 2021 Seemed to fix the issue dropping my stream from 1080p to 720. Hopefully these graphics cards will come around soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
