I'm asking these questions, because my last recording experience was on HD7770 some time ago, when I had over a year break by setting my life back on tracks. Now I want to start from the beginning and go with new ideas and so on.And the last time I remember recording on i3 and HD7770 (You can't go more redneck than that, believe me.) ended up with some damn lags during games, and it was more reasonable to drop down the resolution to 720p.
Since then, Shadowplay appeared, QuickSync evolved, and it's not just recording with Fraps, Bandicam, or other stuff anymore. But that's a discussion for another thread, which would be the best way to go in this case.
Unless you can shoot it down with one simple answer from experience.
