I have xsplit and want to record minecraft gameplay. Do i need a capture card to use xsplit

 

PC is Intel Core i5 6400, GIgabyte H170 Gaming 3, Corsair Vengeance LPX 2x4GB 2400Mhz ,Sandisk Ultra Plus 128GB, WD Blue 1TB, NZXT S340, ASUS Geforce GTX 960. Fractal Design Tesla R2 650W. http://au.pcpartpicker.com/p/793XNG. Graphics card choices don't always have to be dictated on performance. If you want the game stream and power consumption of the GTX 970 get that. If you want raw performance of the R9 390 get that. In the end we are all gamers, so what if your buddy gets an extra 5 fps?

No, not unless you want to capture from something external from your computer.

 

So for minecraft you won't need one.

You should just use OBS anyway x split sorta sucks and no you don't.

Why do you think Xsplit sucks? I'm genuinely curious.

You have to pay for features, not as much customization, not open source.

I do agree that features not being free is a bit of a nuisance but I'm not entirely sure it lacks any options at all compared to any alternatives, free or otherwise. Also being open source or not is a bit of a personal preference as it doesn't really impact anything regarding the scope of this type of software, unless we're dwelving on deeper and lenghtier matters.

What do you mean OBS lags?  I'm assuming you mean that your CPU is maxxing out at 100%?  If so then there there are settings that you can change to fix that.  OBS is more light-weight and more customizable than xsplit, at least since I've last used it, plus it's free so everything is unlocked from the start.
