Re: Streaming the game
The game easily uses your CPU 100%. Unlike other games that most likely don't use your CPU fully, that leaves little to no processing power left for encoding your stream and if CPU is diverted to streaming then the game will run worse. Changing to the Nvidia encoder moves the encoding over to a chip on the GPU which requires practically no CPU which should make the game run well again.
Your new graphics card have an improved encoder compared to earlier generations so you should not see any quality degradation.
