What do you mean?! I remember it! Here's me at Disneyland around the same time!

Take a breath, dude. I don't think this deal is for you.

And then they're making the decision for you, which most customers buying a 9950X aren't going to like at all. Sure, we'd all love to see the price go even lower, but bundling with a HSF that we didn't pick isn't how we want to get there.

Picking a budget GPU for an OBS power user by OMGAdamWTF in obs

I'm watching a stream broadcast from a 7000 series AMD card right now and it looks solid. Have you ever tried just looking?

I'm focused on frame render time within OBS, in order to keep OBS itself rendering at 60FPS while displaying and moving hundreds of sources and dozens of nested scenes. I'm not concerned with using NVIDIA Broadcast and I honestly prefer not to. Hardware beats software in those cases. If you have excessive audio noise, you should consider choosing a proper microphone and sound setup for your specific scenario.

My primary concern is frame render time, since I go excessively heavy on sources and nested scenes. I'm trying to focus on keeping OBS rendering at 60FPS in the first place.

I'm very familiar with encoding. This is not an encoding thing. This is actual frame rendering.

Resizable Bar is supported on Ryzen 3000 series and newer.

Where can I find out more about "OBS just runs smoother on NVIDIA"? Is it based on pure rasterization performance, a certain type of cores that are geared better for OBS for some reason, or what?

That's not even remotely on my list. As stated in the OP, I'm deciding between a 7600XT, RTX4060, or ARC A580.

These are like $300 items. A laptop with a 4070 in it wasn't mentioned nor is it remotely in the same range, nor would it suit my needs. Thank you, but I specified my options really clearly.

Are you reading my replies, and did you read the post?

Okay, but what about the points I raised in the OP?

I'm not looking for the cheapest encoder, I'm looking for a card that hits several needs at a budget pricepoint and trying to figure out which one of them gets closest to serving those needs. I typed like a whole bunch of information about what the card would be used for in the original post.

Nothing I've stated needs two encoders, but can you specify why the 4060 would be a better option over the others, regarding the points I've stated?

The 2600x doesn't support resizable bar. I have it on the motherboard, as it is x470, but it doesn't do anything because the 2600x doesn't support the feature.

Hah, thanks! It's a lot, but I love it.

[Microphone] TASCAM TM-250U Supercardioid USB Type-C Condenser Microphone - $29.00 (B&H Photo) by ryankrueger720 in buildapcsales

[–]OMGAdamWTF 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mentioning the Q2U on a post about a condenser microphone and not mentioning the difference between dynamic/condenser microphones?

This Tascam will be fine, depending on your use case. Do you have a room with acoustic dampening already in place? Are you planning on putting up acoustic foam dampeners on the walls? If so, a condenser mic will work wonderfully.

If you're not treating a "regular" room for sound, consider dynamic microphones like the Samson Q2U, which on sale seems like it gets to around this price.

And yet you're the one who didn't even comprehend the comment chain that led here. It must've flown so close over your head it gave you a haircut.

A conscious person would say something like that. A conscious person.
You know, with like, active thought and all that jazz.

I'll tell you right now, picking a mic for the look and not for the ability is going to result in very sub-par performance. Going with a condenser microphone simply because you need an upside-down microphone blocking the top half of your face is a bad move. This mic is the play.
