So I'm considering picking up a capture card to stream/do LPs on my Wii U, and I'm wondering if the capture card will help with my PC as well. I'd kind of like to stream Battlefield 4, and I play at 1080p. However, when I start streaming I definitely take a huge performance hit. Is it feasible to even use a capture card to stream from a PC, and if so, would that free up system resources? I did read the OP, didn't notice anything addressing this so I apologize if this is a common question.

That is pretty much the answer I thought I'd get. I was just hoping there was something I didn't understand about the process that might make this possible. I'll still be getting the capture card, but was hoping it would solve another problem I'm having. Its not the end of the world for me to stream at a slightly lower resolution or tone down the post processing effects.
