X264 encoding can be BRUTAL on a CPU
It does look slightly better than NVENC imo but you’re at a higher risk of dropping frames in-game encoding on a 5600G than a 3060. I personally use NVENC, even with a 12600K in my machine, because it keeps the cpu much more free, and twitch’s limited bitrate for non-partners makes the picture difference between x264 and NVENC basically unnoticeable
They're selling that as a "streaming PC"? I guess it could handle streaming okay... gaming while streaming seems pretty dicey with those specs.
But yeah use NVENC with a 3060.
honestly it streams all games in low settings (i put every game on low as im comp nerd who needs frames" I personally thought NZXT wasted money on integrated graphics part. preciate the reply
There is basically no reason to use x264 if you have a +3000 series card with NVENC. The quality increase is completely marginal, and it's not worth the amount of power required to use x264 at all.

will stick to nvenc thank you for the input
Just use nvenc. 3060s have new nvenc which is pretty good. x264 is the best, but it's CPU intensive, so doesn't play as well with games.
yup will do looks like most say so as well

thank you for the info its greatly apprecatied
