Best Recording Solution?

[Bit8xPr0]

I have an AMD FX 6300 clocked at 4.4 ghz and 8gb of 1866 g skill ram. I have a GTX 560 ti with newest drivers and just playing in general minecraft can give me stutters which I didn't notice before I overclocked my gpu and then returned it back to normal and uninstalled MSI Afterburner. I also can see through the ground a lot of the time also. Well anyway I want to make videos on youtube recording TF2 GMod Minecraft and eventually maybe BF4 but recording minecraft doesn't seem to be a playable experience.

Open Broadcaster Software is always a good

I personally love to use Dxtory. OBS for live streaming.

I use Dxtory with Lagarith but it still doesn't seem to be playable. My specs should be able to do stuff like this easily right?

I would think your system would be able to handle recording minecraft just fine.

I've been using FRAPS but it's not the most optimized. I need to play around more with different recording softwares.

If you aren't looking for something free or cheap and really want to know what the best solution is, it's a capture card.

I don't know about that. Try OBS

Well, I can understand Minecraft. When I had my 1045t (Albeit a worse CPU), it would run surprisingly slow, only turning down the view distance would increase the frame rate. I think it's due to RAM, although most games don't use any more than 4GB even now, I think Minecraft may be very poorly optimized (Possibly due to Java) and may be a crazy hog for RAM.

You think I could have damaged my card when trying to overclock it? @TheDoubleYGamer ?

I doubt it. Unless you touched the voltage, I HIGHLY doubt you broke it

[Bit8xPr0]

Hmm. I don't know. I want to record and my GPU seems to be the worst thing I have since it is Yellow in UserBenchmark.

turn on recorder and record at any given time and just use video editting software to make up the rest.

Just use OBS, it seems to have the lowest impact on systems.

Don't mean to be rude or anything, but i ran Dxtory with lagarith with my old 2500k and single Gtx 480....

 

[Bit8xPr0]

Lol @Recon-UK Not really being rude lol since both of those parts are faster then the ones I have. I'm sure I could record BF4 but Minecraft? Impossible.

Just use nVidia Shadowplay. Its alot better than both DxTory and Fraps. Full quality gameplay with small file sizes and barely uses up your resources.

I use MSI Afterburner, 85% Quality; 60 FPS fullframe 1080p and 4 compression threads on my 2600k while writing to a RAID 0 of 3 HDD's. Works flawlessly. Usually the only bottleneck when recording video is the hard drive. There definetly is a difference when I was using just a single HDD with the same hardware.

Used RAID for my 2500k.

I record onto seperated hard drives then what I am playing on. Minecraft is on the ssd and I'm running dxtory on the ssd aswell but recording to a WD Caviar Blue that reads and writes about 170. I can record a game like Team Fortress 2 with 60 fps so MineCraft is probably just poorly optimized. @Fooshi 

[Bit8xPr0]

I'm allowing Dxtory to use all 6 threads of my fx 6300 and I'm pretty sure I'm using YV12 or something like that I heard it is fine quality but isn't as slow as RGB either way recording MineCraft isn't a good experience. MineCraft in general is pretty bad but without recording I get like 400 fps and still giant lag spikes on Single Player and Multiplayer and also a portion of the area becomes see through or invisible  blocks so I can't see where to open a door but all I see is lava or the lowest floor.

Dxtory can really use a lot of Hard Drive speed and that is probably what is causing the stutters.  Try recording to a secondary drive that is not running minecraft and see if that helps.  Also, enable the multithreading option in the codec and set your cores in advanced options. Also the FX series is not really as quick as the intel CPUs.

@ I am recording to a separate hard drive.
