PC gamer para streaming: configuração recomendada 2026

Jogar e fazer streaming ao mesmo tempo exige CPU/GPU suficientemente potentes e muitas vezes encoding NVENC. Veja como encontrar a configuração certa.

CPU vs GPU encoding (NVENC): what's the difference?

OBS Studio offers two encoding modes: x264 (CPU) and NVENC/AMF (GPU). For streaming without impacting game FPS, GPU encoding (NVENC on RTX, AMF on AMD) is recommended.

RTX 4000 cards feature the 9th generation NVENC — the best hardware encoding quality available in 2026.

Minimum config for gaming + streaming at 1080p 60 FPS

CPU: Intel Core i5-12400F or AMD Ryzen 5 5600 minimum.

GPU: RTX 3060 or RTX 4060 minimum for quality NVENC encoding. RAM: 16 GB DDR4 minimum, 32 GB recommended.

Budget for a gaming streaming PC

Entry-level streaming budget (1080p 60 FPS, NVENC): €800–1,000.

Professional streaming comfort: €1,300–1,600 (RTX 4070 + i7/Ryzen 7 + 32 GB DDR5).
