Another benefit of using two PCs: the main PC can crash, you still are live on the stream, you can restart the game without losing all the viewers. ;)

[Chaosdude]

Thanks for this! I've got two PCs and I've wondered what the "streaming + gaming PC" setup actually looks like, and this definitely helps. Thanks for putting this out.

[CyrilOfTheWind]

I. LOVE, the aesthetic of that mic setup at the beginning.

[TechGuides]

I'd like to add that you can also share audio between computers with software like voicemeeter - basically a software mixer that allows you to send different channels to any computer in the same network and is a pretty neat solution for a dual PC streaming setup :)

[MrCoachChachi]

Thanks for all the great content, bro. I've used like 20 of your videos to setup my stream and youtube.

Simple, easy and straight to the point explanation, thank you!

Hey @EposVox! I have the 4K60 Pro Mk 2.. when connecting gaming pc HDMI IN to elgato and HDMI OUT from elgato back into gaming monitor, the monitor doesn’t recognize it! Forcing me to clone the monitors for it to work but I always see frame drops. Have u seen this issue before?

[pkbeast]

Hey Epos, I have an unusual situation that I hope you can help me with. I am planning on dual PC recording but I have a 21:9 (3840x1600) monitor. Planning to record OBS 4K with other sources taking up the 560 pixels of black space at the bottom such as face-cam etc. I know that most capture cards don't do odd-ball resolutions that well but will this work because it's in standard 16:9 4K overall or will it fail because it's transferring the 21:9 signal? If so, what do you think is the best card for 3840x1600 recording?

[xHadesStamps]

I like the microphone used in the mixer graphic! I just got one of them, as well!

[shotao]

Clean and precise content. Congratz my dude. Helped a lot.

[yourbrogames]

For the Audio part, can we use just a simple AUX cable from line out of the gaming PC to Line in on the streaming PC?

[Yuskey]

Do I need to keep the OBS on my gaming pc open? or can I close it? will the capture card capture scenes with my obs closed on the gaming pc? Im almost done, just need some lil help now =S

[RTLxAZN]

Yo @eposvox, do you have any issues with circuit breakers tripping with all the tech in your room? I can’t run both of my computers and my monitors in my room without my circuit tripping, so I have to route my streaming PC to a different room. Just wondering!

[EyeSeeU]

Fantastic video telling it how it is -- thank you EposVox

[chefmessy]

I assure you this tutorial is not stupid. Thank you for the help.

[dittydts]

That MS Paint overlay was fire dude. LOVE IT! =D

[LucienBill]

Dual PC is awesome! But for now I'm just fine with my single PC setup, and like the simplicity of it. Good video, as always!

[Symba_Lysm]

SO here's a question for you EposVox, Do you have to have all of your OBS settings like your encoding bitrate, resolution, canvas size (Things like that) done and setup to the other computer, OR can you just have the base feed ( Just OBS and your raw screen capture, nothing else ) sent over to the streaming PC, and have the dedicated streaming PC add on all of your Screen/Web/Camera capture to the first PC's capture? Silly question, but i'm curious.

[DjBlackLotus]

[Naalk]
