Windows Game capture cards PC

(please move if this is in wrong thread, was not sure)

Guys

Looking at game capture cards for my PC, i have tried the software route but i always get FPS issues even though i use a separate HDD

Has anyone got any recommendations for a capture card, I was looking at the Elgato HD 60

Cheers

 

What is your PC spec and setup?

 

Basically

i5 3450
HD 7950
8GB RAM
3x 500gb HDD
1x 1TB SSHD

Does this matter for a capture card?

Thanks Parge

 

No, I was just thinking, have you tried using AMDs inbuilt game recording software?

Your card supports VCE so it will use the hardware encoding on your GPU - meaning almost no performance degradation or skipped frames.

 

Well I never knew that, I will look into it and report back, Cheers

 

Were you using QuickSync or just regular CPU encoding? If it's the latter then have a look into quicksync. Requires some set up of the IGP IIRC, but it helped a friend stream Elite Dangerous so I could watch them play.

 

I believe it was all regular CPU encoding. I will check that out also

Thanks
