Hey guys,

So... I currently have a computer with an Asus P9X79 Motherboard, an i7-4820K Processor, a GTX 760 Graphics Card, and 16GB DDR3 2133 RAM. I built it myself almost two years ago. It runs amazing. But with new games coming out it's becoming harder to run them on good quality while streaming on the same computer. I am able to run 720p 30fps efficiently but at the cost of game quality. When using my capture card for console gaming I can push 900p 60fps no problem.

I also have a second computer that doesn't have much... just a AMD-A10 6800K Black Edition with integrated graphics and 8gb of ram. That computer can only run 720p 30fps even off my capture card, it's small. But if I stream off that I can use my main computer on good quality and run 720p 30fps (barely).

Both computers are hard at streaming well when it comes to quality... so my question for all of this is...

Do I upgrade my main computer by buying a 900 series graphics card or do I just buy like a small 760 for the AMD computer and stream off that? Also if I get a 960 for my main will it be significantly better than my 760?

You can also check out the build here if it helps more: http://imgur.com/a/Vz8GK

I also have a LOT of more questions about my computer but this is the main one right now that I need to get off my chest.

Thanks guys!!

Have you ever thought about SLI? You could think about getting an additional 760 OR you could get your 960 and put the 760 in the other computer. You can do a quick search for some differences between the two and running the SLI vs the 960.

Another idea is the settings for twitch. Assuming you are not partnered you will not have any ability to change the quality. Here is a redit thread on that subject:

Good Luck and hope that helps a bit.
