Hey guys, I could need some help... ^^ My PC is 4 years old and it has a hard time to run Stadia on a higher resolution, If I dont close my browser and some other background stuff. (CPU at its limit...^^) So I was thinking about buying some "optimal stuff to support Stadia" High resolution means VP9-Decoding... VP9 Decoding means Intel-CPU, that is way more expensive then AMD or Vegas GPU for Hardware-Decoding. But Iam not sure, if I really need that... How good is pure Software-Encoding? Maybe a stronger CPU is fine? I have a i5-6400 and a 4GB Gigabyte Radeon RX 470 Gaming G1. I compared it to a Ryzen 5 5600 and a i5-9600K: https://www.cpubenchmark.net/compare/Intel-i5-9600K-vs-Intel-i5-6400-vs-AMD-Ryzen-5-3600/3337vs2578vs3481 Until the 6.6. there is a Cashback for Intel, so Mainboard+CPU is about the same price. AMD CPU is WAY stronger on multithreading... Intel has UHD Graphics 630 with VP9 decoding on board... I have no idea, If I should prefer more power for software decoding or bet on the hardware decoding advantage from Intel... And who knows, maybe Stadia will switch soon from VP9 to AV1... Can anyone help me out? Thanks! *edit* Ok, the Stadia FAQ says, that you need Hardware Acceleration to go 1440p and higher. Since my GPU cant do that I and dont want to pay 300 € for a GeForce that is able to fully help, it has to be the Intel card (AMD has not a single card with Integrated Graphics (Vega), that is stronger than the 9600K...)
