GPU or VCC?

ThePurv

Im looking to add another card to my PC

I currently have a Nvidia GTX 570

I am looking at getting a new 600 or 700 series GPU

or

Get a Video Capture card which will be used just for streaming. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16815100100

My current card runs CF at max FPS 200+, so another GPU wouldn't really be needed.

What do you guys think?

I guess there is no limit really. 999 is the highest it goes.

The VCC is great because it takes the stress away from the CPU. The FPS wouldn't drop in game and you can easily stream in 1080p.

Then are you having to decide if you already know which is the better benefit? Lol.

JPurv I suggest you get the Avermedia Live Portable which I think costs less than the one that you linked and plus it costs less to and also hence the name it is Portable and really easy to use without having to put it IN your computer itself. Oh and get a VCC the Nvidia GTX 570 will last you until another year then get another one if you want to play high end games etc. Here is the avermedia live portable http://www.amazon.com/AVerMedia-Portable-Capture-Xbox360-60Mbps/dp/B00B2IZ3B0 You can also go to youtube and look at reviews of it!

Get the VCC. Crossfire isnt even directX. GPU's make no difference. How do I know?With my old GTX 260, I got 80-150fps. With my new GTX670, 80-150FPS. New 4670K (same card): 200+FPS.

Good point.

CF is really CPU based and streaming requires alot of CPU for encoding.

taeyeoNNNNN

Glad you are buying something from your wakemeup paycheck.
