Hi all
I am looking for a cheap upgrade for one my media PC's and am hoping someone can steer me in the right direction. Currently, it will play 1080p 60FPS Twitch, but only through VLC which is becoming a pain since I also want to watch the chat. I want to upgrade so I can view it in Chrome.
I would just buy a Chromecast v3 or a Chromecast Ultra, but apparently even they stutter during the high quality 1080p 60 FPS videos I watch. Not sure what codec twitch is using for these videos but I have been unable to get it working with any browser or windows app.
I am happy to buy used on Ebay if it saves some money and would prefer something quite and low power if possible since all it will be doing is decoding video.
PC is an old Fm2 board with a 5800k. The CPU performance is still more than fine for running windows in a snappy manner.
