GPU Question

[MiniTofu]

NVENC is low quality which is why it has such a low FPS hit though the GPU processing can help with that, if you want close to FRAPS like quality then you want DXtory, though to record FF14 at 60 FPS, you do need a beefier CPU, but Youtube either does, high quality 30 fps or downgraded quality at 60 FPS for non content creators.

Ive used bandicam, OBS, Fraps, shadowplay and out of those DXtory has the best performance/quality ratio.

NVENC on GTX900 series are not low quality, my TITAN has an older NVENC chip, the quality at 50Mbps is decent. It doesn't have much performance impact because it fetch the information from the buffer on a separated encoding chip. This is why the GTX700 series can only max at 1440p at 30FPS while the GTX900 has a newer encoding chip enable to record at 4k @ 60FPS and 1440p @ 60FPS.

I have OBS, FRAPS, Bandicam, Shadowplay, DXTory all purchased or owned. including Miriilis Action!. I've done hours of countless recording between all those softwares.

Running on 3930k, testing X264 is not a problem at all.
