That should be entirely possible. But the streaming computer is not really an issue here. Just treat the PC as a video source, much like you would say a console, when streaming via a computer.
Connect the PC to the capture card via its own video output, (HDMI, DVI). Assuming the streaming software on the Mac can stream from the capture card's source, just point it to the captured video input.

The steps on the Mac would be dependant on the capture card you use and the streaming software on the Mac. This means you can play even the most demanding game titles on a non-gaming PC or even a Mac or an Android smartphone. Think of it as Netflix, but instead of streaming movies, you're streaming a.

So its more a question about the capture card and streaming software on the Mac than it is about the Mac itself.

I've come across an interesting situation. I recently borrowed a laptop for work purposes, but decided to try out a Windows-specific game that I've always wanted to play - GoldenEye: Source. ;) It works beautifully and I thought about streaming it on Twitch, but the laptop is old'ish and not reliable for streaming.
This brings me to my Mac, which is perfectly capable of streaming without any hiccups. Would there be any way at all to pick up the PC source on OBS for Mac? So far, I've tried:
1) HDMI connection from PC to Minidisplay Port on Mac (no connection there).
2) HDMI connection from PC to Elgato IN with USB connection to Mac (Elgato picks up the screen, but there is no game audio).
3) HDMI connection from PC to Elgato IN with UBS connection to Mac AND HDMI out to TV (once again, no audio pick up).
4) HDMI connection from PC to TV, but I'm then stranded in terms of getting it back to Mac (works great on TV with audio as well).
I know that this might be uncharted territory (or maybe not!). In any case, any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated in terms of what the best setup (if any) exists for these two systems to exist and help one another out with the PC being the gaming computer and Mac being the streaming computer.
Thanks in advance!
