I'm not sure how graphic card intensive streaming is but Nvidia is about to release the GTX 960 which is a steal at it's price. Might save you some money on your build Snorlax, and its pretty much as good as the 970 & 980.

Santi I could build you a very good PC for like 500
Hahn so tempting! I should have reached out months ago for this when I first saw your computer. I might just buy one so I can have it by Thursday.

Streaming is definitely more intensive than recording at least. Just tested streaming tonight and no setting can save my '08 laptop for streaming HDMI input, yet videos came out decently. So I can at least provide a recording set up, but if we ever do streaming, yeah some other computer is going to have to pick up the slack. Though Ooples doesn't have wifi was we all already know, so opportunities are fairly limited to house tourney, UA, and such.

We can record and do live commentary and we will just have to upload to YouTube for the time being.

Any ideas for the twitch/YouTube account? I don't want it named Santi but rather something for the scene.

And someone find a venue with wifi for the weeklies!

It'd prolly be better to discuss for a channel name (and definitely get nike a better name for the monthlies lol) in person, so for now this week we can test the stuff out but not upload it until next weekly.

960 is a Level 6 Graphics Card, which is the absolute minimum of what you want. Getting a Level 7 or Level 8 would be better overall.

Streaming is dependent on three things mostly.

1. Graphics Card
2. RAM
3. Upload Speed

As a streamer myself, I've ultimately been bottled by my upload speed. Need at least 3 - 5 mbps to get 720p. I wouldn't bother gunning for 1080p.

Your 500 has been turned into an area code
Otherwise I'd expect when weeklies are held at Valdens' to be a point of opportunity.

Will Nike ever obtain the replays to send to one of us to record?

Mine's vise versa. I don't have the appropriate GPU (default mobile-based card) CPU (low end mobile duo core at 2 GHz each), but I got the internets to work with. My best bet would to borrow my brother's ASUS gaming laptop, but he uses that for school work and such.

Well damn, I was lingering online for a moment and saw your room open, but thought you were waiting on someone else. Already shut down the console and left the game room.

I can take you to Ooples on Thursday if you need a ride Slush.

I'd go to a Smashfest tomorrow, but I don't get out of work until 10:30pm. :applejack:

I see 720p HD as an option, just usually defaults to 360 or lower on some vids fer some raisin.
Audio does seem to lag fer like a second along with the quality but fixes itself after another second.

I'll post after work more in depth, but weekly is this week at ooples. Same everything, only I'll be there this time lol. I'm driving my car so I can get you slush.

I'm gonna head to otaku cafe tonight and see if (a) they wanna host next weeks weekly and (b) if they have wifi. We're quickly outgrowing ooples as far as streaming and need for more than two outlets for everything.

I found out why my stream was crappy -- I've been streaming at 1080p the whole time and forgot to scale down.
WiiU settings are still at 1080p, but this time on my capture program I set it to scale down to 720x480 at 3.00mbps.
My quality test stream is still running while I mess around with the settings. I only got 4 challenges left and all chars on All-Star Hard is the biggest thing left to do. Recording shouldn't be affected though as in my last post. I'll mess with the webcam later.

I'm at four challenges left too. I think I only have one head gear left to collect, then it's just the 9.0 without dying, all customs, and All Star mode.
Last night I was mad as ****. I almost beat Classic without dying, but Master Edges killed me even with 150+ defense customs. So much bull. :applejack:
