I know Nvidia supposedly released one as well, but I haven't messed with it and I think I heard something about it having a fee or subscription like xplit or whatever. OBS is completely functional and learning how to use the plugins I was able to do anything for streaming the others would require. The only thing I felt it lacked was editing software, but maybe you know of some good free or open source editing they could use.
Been thinking about streaming for some time but haven't gotten around to it yet - hopefully soon, the e-sports people would love to use a platform that eliminates middle-men like paypal with their growing transaction fees.
Yeah, they also have a really awesome setting that let's you use your GPU for encoding so your PC will lag a lot less then the old usual ways when it used the CPU.
I used to be pretty serious into the Counter Strike scene. It took a gtx 970 to stream CSGO and run a lightboost 175-180 fps. I don't know how anyone was streaming it before the 900 series on any kind of reasonable budget. The 600 series and 700 series would have probably needed 3-way sli to even pull those numbers. I haven't been gaming for a bit now, but I still get the urge to look at the specs for the 1070 and 1080 every now and then lol.
I went AMD for a few years just for the extra mining - but the lack of support on their products and updates is a real turn-off compared to the flawless Nvidias nowadays.
Doesn't surprise me Nvidia is still doing so much better than AMD - even though miners keep stacking their GPU's in basements.
