I'm always looking for ways to improve our stream and if going external is the way to go I'd love to know why.Įxternals will vary on the same type of cable design for a few reasons.ġ thing is the USB Bus is overloaded(what you're saying sort of). So I'm enlisting you my fellow streamers - educate me. My Googe-fu isn't good to confirm the claims this person made, but it's my understanding even with USB 3.0 you're still going to be dealing with some delay (though from my googling it looks like USB 3.0 and a PCI Express 2.0 slot have comparable bandwidths). I'm not really looking for validation, but more so I'm looking to educate myself.

The software of the external device keeps the gameplay and your commentary in sync at all times. The only method of internal capture that is faster is just using obs - no internal hardware just obs no internal capture card because an internal capture card the image has to pass from the GPU through the system RAM through the CPU to the display It takes longer for the video to go from the source to your capture with internals than it does externals The person I spoke with made these claims about external cards in relation to internal cards:Įxternal cards use less CPU and RAM than internal The conversation I had recently implies this isn't the case. From my research I've seen people tend to avoid external since when mixing your stream in your broadcasting software you often have to deal with a delay - in order to make sure your viewers don't see you react to game content before it happens you offset your mic and webcam so it syncs up with the video game's video. The reason I've veered towards internal cards has been mainly due what I've read on this board among other places.
