Looking Forward to an Upgrade

Right now I am still quite happy with my computer and all of its components, but I will admit I am looking forward to eventually building a replacement. Yesterday when streaming, there were some serious problems with the stream, and after some more testing I finally figured out what the problem was and why it seemed to come and go. I had it set to capture at my monitor's native resolution (2048x1152) and then downscale it to 1280x720. This downscaling would have to be done by the CPU, and my CPU is not always up for it. It depends on the game and how much it uses the CPU, which is partly why it took me so long to figure it out. I thought the problem was special to the game, but actually it was my general settings and the specific game could alleviate the problem. Well, now it's solved so I will be able to stream in the future without issue. (Though I will admit, I would love it if we could stream and record in OBS with different canvas resolutions, so it is the hardware encoder I am using doing the scaling, instead of the less powerful CPU. Maybe that will happen some day, but it is hard to say, and I could see one thing preventing it from happening.)
