You need to make sure your hardware can both cope with your game and handle the process of streaming. As such, it\u2019s important you have the right GPU in your arsenal. So, we\u2019re taking a look at the best GPUs for streaming!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.overclockers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/gpus-for-streaming-square-1024x1024.png\" alt=\"Best GPUs for Streaming \" class=\"wp-image-54428\"\/ loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.overclockers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/gpus-for-streaming-square-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.overclockers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/gpus-for-streaming-square-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.overclockers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/gpus-for-streaming-square-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.overclockers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/gpus-for-streaming-square-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/www.overclockers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/gpus-for-streaming-square-600x600.png 600w, https:\/\/www.overclockers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/gpus-for-streaming-square.png 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whether you like to stream the latest AAA gameplay or have a cosy good time with something more casual, live streaming is taxing on your gaming PC. This is why you need to have the right tools for the job! In this article, we\u2019ve got a quick overview of what streaming is and the hardware you need, as well as those all important GPU recs. All we ask in return is you drop your streaming handle in the comments so we can watch the great content!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Streaming<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Streaming is when you encode and broadcast your gameplay to a live platform, like Twitch or YouTube. To achieve this, you need a gaming PC that can both run your game and power the additional software required for streaming, like Open Broadcasting Software (OBS) or Streamlabs (OBS).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Twitch officially recommends a dual-core CPU and at least 4GB RAM or using their service, which all sounds very achievable until you consider your game specs. As such, your gaming PC is going to require a bit more oomph. Whatever games you are streaming, we suggest you use the recommended specs over the minimum as your guideline because this will ensure better performance and graphics.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thankfully, many modern GPUs are primed to cope with streaming workloads, with proprietary software like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.overclockers.co.uk\/blog\/nvidia-inside-look-nvidia-broadcast\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">NVIDIA Broadcast<\/a> designed to enhance your live content. This is, of course, on top of being packed with all the latest innovations to deliver your gaming at crisp resolutions with silky smooth frame rates.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Below is a quick table outlining the recommended specs for casual, average, and high-def streaming.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Specification<\/th><th>Casual Streamer<\/th><th>Average Streamer<\/th><th>High-Def Streamer<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Processor<\/td><td>Intel Core i5<br>AMD Ryzen 5<br>4 cores \/ 4 threads minimum<\/td><td>Inel Core i7<br>AMD Ryzen 7<br>6 cores \/ 12 threads minimum<\/td><td>Intel Core i9<br>AMD Ryzen 9<br>8 cores \/ 16 threads minimum<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Memory<\/td><td>8GB RAM<\/td><td>16GB RAM<\/td><td>32GB RAM<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Graphics<\/td><td>NVIDIA GTX 1050 Ti<br>AMD Radeon RX 560<\/td><td>NVIDIA GTX 1660 Ti<br>AMD Radeon RX 5700<\/td><td>NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080<br>AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Internet Connection<\/td><td>3-5 Mbps minimum upload speeds<\/td><td>5-10 Mbps minimum upload speeds<\/td><td>10-20 Mbps minimum upload speeds<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Storage<\/td><td>256GB SSD<\/td><td>512GB SSD<\/td><td>1TB NVMe SSD<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Additional<\/td><td>External microphone and\/or headset<br>Webcam<\/td><td>Capture card (console streaming)<br>Microphone and headset<br>Webcam<\/td><td>Capture card (console streaming)<br>Microphone and headset<br>Webcam<br>Green screen<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/raidiant.gg\/minimum-specs-to-stream-on-twitch-2023\/\">Radiant.gg<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns are-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-930feb06 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-medium\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.overclockers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/ocuk-streaming-guides-300x300.png\" alt=\"Overclockers UK's Ultimate Collection of Streaming Guides\u00a0\" class=\"wp-image-27404\"\/ loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.overclockers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/ocuk-streaming-guides-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.overclockers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/ocuk-streaming-guides-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.overclockers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/ocuk-streaming-guides-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.overclockers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/ocuk-streaming-guides-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/www.overclockers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/ocuk-streaming-guides-580x580.png 580w, https:\/\/www.overclockers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/ocuk-streaming-guides.png 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Overclockers UK&#8217;s Ultimate Collection of Streaming Guides<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We have plenty of streaming guides to help boost you to streaming superstardom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-ef7a8b26 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.overclockers.co.uk\/blog\/overclockers-uks-ultimate-collection-of-streaming-guides\/\">Read More<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What GPU Do You Need for Streaming?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As is the main take away with this article, your GPU is going to need to be in line with your game requirements as well as any of the recommended specs in the table above. Going by the table above, though, it\u2019s clear that at the very least you need a mid-range GPU. For NVIDIA, this would be the RTX x060 or x070 models, while for AMD that would mean the x700 models or the newly categorised Radeon RX 9070s.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Of course, if you want to stream at higher resolutions or play games with more demanding specs, then you\u2019ll need to more into the more elite-tier GPUs. This would mean RTX x080 or x090 models from NVIDIA, or x800 and x900 GPUs from AMD.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Intel ARC GPUs are also a great option for streaming, thanks to their AV1 Video Encoding\/Decoding. Models with higher VRAM, like the ARC A770 or B580, will make the most suitable addition to your streaming set-up.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.overclockers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Streaming_Lifestyle_Blog_16_9-4-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Streaming Lifestyle\" class=\"wp-image-46727\"\/ loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.overclockers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Streaming_Lifestyle_Blog_16_9-4-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.overclockers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Streaming_Lifestyle_Blog_16_9-4-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.overclockers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Streaming_Lifestyle_Blog_16_9-4-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.overclockers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Streaming_Lifestyle_Blog_16_9-4-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.overclockers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Streaming_Lifestyle_Blog_16_9-4.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best GPUs for Streaming<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If\u00a0you\u2019re\u00a0looking to equip your gaming PC with a GPU primed for streaming,\u00a0we\u2019ve\u00a0picked out five of the best for you below!\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">ASRock Intel ARC B570 Challenger OC GPU<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To start with, we have the\u00a0<strong>ASROCK Intel ARC B570 Challenger OC GPU<\/strong>.
