The only saving grace I can imagine here is running Windows on it with an nvidia eGPU, but it will probably still suck with two cores and you'll waste money at it (on the enclosure, even if you use the card elsewhere). The Apple Silicon machines are a completely different beast (and a specced out recent Intel MBP far, far outpaces a '17 dual core - which is more or less a netbook at this point). However, just because the software is available for Mac. OBS 28 (in beta) is a little better, but not that much. The home page of OBS website presents three download options Windows, macOS 10.13+, and Linux. (In fact, my old 2012 MBP with the ancient nvidia GPU in it does better.) Welcome to OBS Studio 29 This release comes with many new encoder updates and features, all of which can be found in the release notes, but weve highlighted a few here.

My mid-2015 15" MBP i7 quad core 16MB gets to over 90 deg C core temps and the fans run full blast when in studio mode with two scenes with a single window capture source in each. 1 Install OBS Studio for macOS Open your preferred browser, and visit the OBS Studio homepage. Frankly, I don't know how much better the experience will be in Windows with that hardware. OBS on OS X will beat the absolute shit out of any mid 2010's dual core MBP using software encoding (or quicksync), you will not be happy.
