Optimal recoriding

[ismma99]

Hello was wondering what the most optimal res is if my GPU cant handle 1920x1080 since its really choppy on a game like for example far cry 3 i guess its becuse its a newer game than what i usually play. and another question those the settings on the details on the game effect the overall recording so if i have high on all detail settings does that mean that it can lead to lag? sorri for bein scrib and i use OBS i watched barnacules guide on how to use obs so i have some idea of OBS

You need a GPU upgrade fast

ok so the cpu is not the bottleneck here. do you know the exact gpu like 7870 something similar

i dont really know tbh but you can put up some samples if you want since im not sure how much you need to spend for a gpu especailly when im gonna stream and record but it might be some light recroding and streaming

and no i have not overclocked im new to OC idk how to do it  i guess you do it in bios 

[BudgetForNow]

in 200 dollar range a r9 380 or gtx 960

i personally have a 380 and i can max out almost any game a 1080 average 90 to 100 fps 

[BudgetForNow]

you can overclock a gpu msi afterburner

is extra fans requierd ? to be on the gpu so it aint overheats

[BudgetForNow]

there are lots of guides on youtube

 

 

this is a great video and will show you everything you need.

just keep an eye on your temps and remember that not every card will overclock the same.

and you will not get same clocks he gets he is using titans and you are using 7870 two very different cards but the process is the same

what about XFX Radeon R9 390 8gb ? its about 300 euros 

[BudgetForNow]

the 390 is a great card lots of vram. i will play anything at 1080p but the card is designed 1440 or 4k with the 8gb vram

a gtx 970 is also a good card but only has 3.5 gb of usable vram and performance drops when you hit the last .5 gb and i dont think the 970 can handle 1440 as good as the 390.

[BudgetForNow]

i would also wait for the polarias and pascale gpus to be releaced because the 300 series and fury prices will likely drop or you could get a newer flagship card and have better future proofing

so i guess ill go for the 390 ? then if im gonna upgrade but im gonna try OC my gpu and btw is it necesary to OC my cpu ?

ohh ok well that will be perfect by the time i have the money i guess

cpu is not necessary to oc skylake is good archatecture and if you have a stock cooler then you wont get anything from it but i can aid in performance a bit.

if it was me i would just because i love to oc as a hobby but for what you do with it it doesnt need done
