MY SETUP

My streaming-/gaming-setup is pretty simple and compact in design, with a strong focus on productivity and without any bells and whistles! In THIS DIAGRAM you will get an idea about my signal routing between both PCs, there will be a parts list for each build and my custom x264 settings! You will need a pretty beefy CPU in order to utilize those settings, so please don’t even try using them with your Intel i5 processor…
