Thanks for this vid. Going from console to pc next month. Triple screen dedicated rig pc and a 2nd streaming pc. This vid got all my questions covered, thank you very much!
Thanks for this overview. I'm planning to get a new PC later this year, and my current 'main' PC will become a recording PC. I appreciate the tips and the layout. I'm looking forward to the challenge of setting everything up :)
As far as I understand, in triple monitor setup you will plug in central monitor into a capture card. Won’t it influence latency on the central monitor and therefore side screens will have less? I have some nzxt card, have not tested it with triple screen though
No, you don't plug a capture card into the monitor. Its using an HDMI slot of the graphics card and this duplicates the signal of your screen to the card.
I have triples + 4th screen running on the motherboard's iGPU. Can I still follow your instructions here for dual PC setup? A link to your setup would be appreciated.
I have a laptop with thunderbolt 4 but it has ARC graphics, my main PC has 4070 ti super which has way faster encoding and lots of extra power, do I need to use a second computer? I have an extra 2070 super but not a TB4 enclosure
Encoding is way lighter than the gaming. Use the laptop to steam. If youtube is your main platform you can use AV1 encoding on the ARC GPU. It's one of the best solutions available now
The requirements are quite low! You will not need 32 GB of RAM, 8 or 16 will work too. GPU can be low to mid range of the last couple of years, like a GTX 1070 or 2060 (or even lower). A PC for around 500 bucks should do it! -Michel
Should always dual pc if you want to stream. Especially if you have triples. I started dual pc streaming about 8 months ago now. Would never go back to gaming and streaming on the same pc now. Having a pc just using its power to run your preferred racing sim and then a dedicated streaming machine. Is a game changer for any streamer! Yes, there's components needed and some playing about in OBS but it's straight forward. This video makes it look way more complicated than it actually is imo.
Which part do you think was explained or seemed more complicated than it is? I think whats adds "complexity" is the discord part or being able to hear alerts from the Streaming PC. Otherwise it's simple, as shown. -Michel
I think I saw that in preparation to this video. But their Wave Link Software is not open to everyone and I still prefer Sound Capture. But it's a good alternative if you have an Elgato Mic or Streamdeck+ at hand. -Michel
@OverTake_gg you can get a similar result using Sound Capture, and the OBS Audio Monitor plug-in. You can set a channel to output to a specific device, and map that to one of the 3.5mm outs, or in my case the hdmi audio signal, then add the hdmi audio from the capture card as a source in the stream PC
That's what youtube is good for haha, having the solution to the most niche problem to an already niche hobby. Those 5 (and more) people would probably be very thankful for this guide. (I'm never gonna have a two rig system lol but I can appreciate people making guides like this especially to this quality)
You never know :) It's not easy to find out how many simracers have thought about streaming their hobby, or for their league, etc. There are probably millions out there, so if only a small percentage has a general interest in this, the video has potential and we hope to be helpful. :P -Michel
thank you, i learned how this is complicated, so much respect to you!

Thank you for the guide. Helps me form a rough guide for what I plan to do in a few years

Great vid. Just what i needed. In future can yiu follow up with the 5th monitor process.
Ty
I don't stream but you explained this in a very understandable way.Thank you for the video have a great day and all the best to you and your family ❤

@@OverTake_gg oh I see, so it should be not pass-through card (as I have), but the one with duplicating output

nice guide , thank you for sharing!! - What pc parts you recomend for stream pc? what is important, CPU or GPU? and ram 32gb mininum? thanks

@@OverTake_gg thanks a lot! cheers

There's a guy on here @Nutty that has a guide on using an Elgato 4KX to send multiple sources across for 2 pc streaming
I think I saw that in preparation to this video. But their Wave Link Software is not open to everyone and I still prefer Sound Capture. But it's a good alternative if you have an Elgato Mic or Streamdeck+ at hand. -Michel

DDR3 Ram eh? must be the secret ingredient... 😂😅😊
if that is the easy solution, I will skip the complicated one
Im not going to lie, this seems hard to do. Maybe its my brain right now lol
anyone using streamlabs has no morals
maybe 5 ppl will find this useful

I'm one of the 5
Dropped my like, I'm fifth, hah! Thanks Overtake!
I am one of the 5!
