i5 4690k question

Go to solution Solved by SeanBond,

Amd has game dvr and nvidia has shadowplay. Shadow play is a bit more fledged out because it's been around longer but you can record games without taking a hit in performance. I actually keep it on at all times and if ever I want to save something I can get a button and have the last 2 minutes saved on my hard drive. It goes up to 20 minutes I think. You can change recording resolution and bit rate, also stream directly to twitch. The quality isn't superb but definitely great for not having to buy anything and it not having any noticable performance hit. Nvidia says it's about 5%. I personally think it's closer to 1-2% from the times I tried benchmarking the difference.

Will i be able to capture video and game at the same time with this processor?

yes, you will lose a bit of performance but you should be fine

yes and i would upgrade to broadwell down the lne as it might have a 6 core on the z97 platform

Of course you can, but you might see a performance hit depending on the software you use for recording. Heavily CPU boung games that use all 4 cores will probably not fare well with that though.

If you have a Nvidia card 600 series or higher use Shadow-play, there is little to no performance hit. I think AMD has the same kind of thing not sure what it's called though.

Nvidia's ShadowPlay and AMD's GVR are better options than a recorder that uses the CPU. 

From my experience with GVR there is minimal fps drops, and I'd say ShadowPlay is the same. 

Here is a video on the matter, has explanation about GVR, ShadowPlay and FRAPS, very comprehensive. 

 

GVR and ShadowPlay doesn't produce that great quality but is still very good.

Intel 4690k can use onboard for not just playing but recording with little to zero performance hit ising quicksync.

Not as good quality but still. No hit. Without a dedicated card.

Then yeah with either Dedicated GPU company you'll have better options.

Maximums - Asus Z97-K /w i5 4690 Bclk @106.9Mhz * x39 = 4.17Ghz, 8GB of 2600Mhz DDR3,.. Gigabyte GTX970 G1-Gaming @ 1550Mhz
