XSplit with Own3d

System Requirements

If you want to stream at a decent quality, you’re going to need a pretty powerful computer. If you’re not streaming at a good quality, no one is going to watch. So basically, your minimum specifications will need to meet the following:

• QuadCore 3.2GHz CPU
• 6GB RAM
• 1GB graphics card
• 1Mbps upload speed minimum

I stream at 30 fps, and highest res that own3d allows, and there's no lag on either end (livestream & my game). I've got 8 gigs of ram and an AMD Phenom(tm) II X4 820 Processor (4 CPUs), ~2.8GHz. I'm pretty sure you'll have better, seeing as this computer is ages old and nothing done to it except a graphics card.

 

a graphics card can compensate for lower processing power pretty well too thx to hardware acceleration (like cuda cores from nvidia cards)
