Streaming PCs for Twitch, smooth gameplay and reliable encoding

Gaming and streaming at the highest level simultaneously: A streaming PC must handle two tasks at the same time without compromising your game or your stream. We’ll show you which hardware makes this possible.

The Right Processor for Gaming and Streaming at the Same Time

When gaming and streaming at the same time, the CPU and GPU share the load: the game itself, the video composition in the streaming tool, and video encoding all run in parallel and compete for processing time. A processor with few but very fast cores reaches its limits here because it simply lacks the capacity for the additional tasks. The latest Intel Core and AMD Ryzen processors with many cores handle this load with ease because the game and streaming software can be distributed across separate cores, ensuring your stream remains smooth while you play at the same time.

The Right Graphics Card for Streaming: Why NVENC Matters

NVIDIA GeForce RTX graphics cards offer a decisive advantage for streaming: the dedicated NVENC video encoder, a separate section of the chip that is exclusively responsible for video encoding. It encodes your stream independently of the actual game graphics, so your in-game frame rate remains virtually unaffected, even at high streaming bitrates in 1080p or 1440p.

RAM for Gaming, Streaming, and Chat Simultaneously

At least 32 GB of RAM is a must for a streaming PC: the game, streaming software like OBS or Streamlabs, browser overlays, chat, and Discord all run simultaneously, and each application demands its share of RAM. For complex scene changes and multiple camera sources, we recommend systems with 32 to 64 GB of RAM.

Compatibility with Your Entire Streaming Setup

Our streaming PCs are compatible with everything your setup needs: capture cards for console streams, multiple microphone inputs, and your preferred streaming software all run without compromise. Ample USB ports and stable drivers ensure that Elgato capture cards, Stream Decks, and microphone interfaces work together reliably.

Our recommendations for streaming and gaming:

The Enthusiast tier with the RTX 5090 isn’t overkill—it’s long been the de facto standard for running current AAA titles at high settings: New games—such as graphics pioneers with demanding ray tracing—already require the full power of a 5090 even without streaming, and when streaming simultaneously, the additional load from video composition and encoding comes on top of that.
