The Elgato card is HDMI in and HDMI out, which can be annoying for PC users (for instance, recording footage from a Cintiq would require some extra adapters, and I doubt that the card would support 1600x1200 anyway). The device is absolutely perfect for console footage capture at 720p/1080p, and works quite well for PC game recording too.ġ - controlling the capture card with a laptop receiving footage from the proper workstation andĢ - controlling the capture card with the workstation on which the work was actually being done.īoth worked, but I found myself limited by the resolution settings and the wiring. On a side note, if anyone is interested : I recently experimented with an Elgato HD capture card, in the hope of offloading most of the encoding calculations away from the computer. Useful thread - lots of things to try out ! Now I'm using a 770 which I quite like, though a 780 would be even better. Previously I was trying to do video recording with Marmoset Toolbag 2 (which is entirely GPU based) on a 560 Ti and it really wasn't fast enough to handle rendering and gpu recording, and CPU recording tends to be really slow (even on my quadcore i7 4770). In general if you're doing anything heavy I would recommend a very fast GPU. Compression with OBS is fine for mostly static stuff, but anything with a lot of motion gets muddy. Not sure if there are some hidden quality settings somewhere but we didn't find them when we were messing with it.
How important this is really depends on your needs tho. I haven't used OBS myself, but I was comparing some of the output (that Lee Devonald sent me) and the compression was a lot worse than what you can get our of ZD soft or bandicam where you have a lot more control over the compression quality. With gpu recording the performance hit is minimal (as it is with the above two as well). Very frustrating.īandicam: works well generally but gave me issues with UI flickering (didn't show up in recorded video but made it pretty much impossible to make video tutorials).Ĭurrently using ZD Soft Screen recorder, which works quite well. Fraps: works well, but after a while it wouldn't record files anymore, no errors or anything, would just create a file that was deleted as soon as I stopped recording.
