Got a friend, that I sold a G4560 rig to, as a gaming rig. 16GB DDR4, 240GB SSD, and soon, a GTX950 2GB (unless I get him something better on ebay, and he pays me for it).
He originally told me that he wanted a "Gaming Rig". Today, when I went over his place to help him hook it up, he said he wants to "do streaming". Which was not one of the original requirements when I sold him the rig.
How he plans on doing that, when he's "borrowing" wifi, I don't know. Maybe some days, the connection is good enough to stream.
So, what say you, should he use the rig as-is for streaming? I personally don't think that the G4560 is enough, it's barely enough for gaming at 1080P High as-is.
However, I know that NVidia has been pushing "ShadowPlay". I've never used it. But supposedly, it uses your video card for encoding.
Does anyone know (or want to speculate), that you could use the ShadowPlay feature of the GTX950 card to stream effectively? (If he could manage a stable 5Mbit of bandwidth?)
