What is the "best" way to stream with the lowest input lag?

1: 2 PC setup. Gaming PC going through a capture card via passthrough to a 240HZ monitor and to a secondary streaming PC broadcasting with OBS. No additional latency from OBS and minimal latency from the capture card passthrough, but it is unfortunately limited to 240HZ due to capture card technology. Audio latency is also compromised a little bit.

2. 2 PC setup. Gaming PC sends the feed to the streaming PC via display cloning. 540HZ monitor. Slight latency increase from display cloning. Slight audio latency.

3. 1 PC setup with a 540 HZ monitor running OBS. Increase in latency from CPU/GPU usage.

Which is ultimately going to be the best? Or if there's a different option that I have not considered yet please let me know.
