Screen/Game Recording Solutions

[NerdNinja]

Hey guys!

 

I've been wanting to record PC gameplay since I've built my rig but I haven't had money for software licences and didn't want to mess around with free stuff that would have watermarks and whatever else.

 

I currently have a 2560X1440 screen and a R9 280X paired with a i5-4460. Not too shabby but in some more demanding games I'd rather not take the performance hit. I also have a Laptop with a i5-3337U as the processor and no dedicated graphics.

 

I was looking at capture card solutions but I have no idea what's good or not, what I want to do is record 1440p @ 60FPS with little to no performance hit if possible. 

 

 

I have a flexible budget and could probably shoot for anything under 150 USD so if you guys could recommend software/hardware I would be very greatful! Also any setup guides would be great because I don't know how to setup bitrate/codecs etc.

 

Thanks!

What about OBS?

 

Elgato sell PCI capture cards though, HD60 i think its called.

DXtory should be able to record quite well without having to much of a performance hit.
