Recording Stuff.

Wohaaa · January 21, 2017

I have a pretty powerful PC with an i5-6600k (Specs in my description) but I don't have a graphics card. Yet. As of now I pretend that I have an NVidia GeForce GT 640 and play games on low. In reality I have Intel HD 530 and for the past 5 months my favorite game has been Paladins: Champions of the Realm. (If you call this game an overwatch clone I won't be triggered. But please leave this post if you don't have my answer). I am not a youtuber, but sometimes I find bugs and some strategies that I wish to share with some other gamers that need it.

Long story short: I don't have a graphics card yet and I need to know what is the best way to record this game (Paladins) with low size files and high performance using only Intel HD 530.

It isn't a heavy game though. I easily get above 130 fps on highest settings. It's a free to play anyways, so don't expect much from it. I can already record with bandicam, but the file sizes are still too big.

I don't need to go as high as 1080p. My screen resolution is only 1440 x 900 16:10. I'm going to upload to YouTube, so even 720p is fine. As long as its 60 fps.

I need a free software, not one with a trial. But if there are good paid versions of software also available then suggestions are appreciated and I might look into one.

Any help?

(P.S. This game is free to play and can be found on steam. It is from the same creators of SMITE and is ATM having above 5 million players worldwide in over 230 countries.)

not much really the hd 530 is more of a media center gpu rather than a gaming gpu, recording games without taking hit will not be possible. the setup you have is the best for now, you can adjust settings to see if that helps.
