How to Stream Chess Matches without taking system resources.

[mwyoung]

I thought this was widely known, but I keep getting responses that streaming or recording. And using all cores on you system is not possible, or hurts performance of the chess engines.

Here is the tech that makes this possible.

Just use a RTX GPU, and OBS for streaming.

ABOUT NVENC
NVENC is NVIDIA’s encoder. It’s a physical section of our GPUs that is dedicated to encoding only. This means that your GPU can operate normally regardless of whether you use this region to stream or record. Other encoders, such as x264, use your CPU to encode, which takes resources away from other programs such as your game. That’s why using NVENC allows you to play games at a higher framerate and avoid stuttering, giving you and your viewers a better experience.


I hope this helps, and enjoy the streaming chess matches at full power.
