    Best settings for recording a 4k source while keeping a steady framerate?

    I have a 4k monitor and want to use the replay buffer to clip things, ut enabling it nerfs my framerate from a consistent 60fps down to 30-40.

To fix the quality drops, I changed a few settings (I don't remember exactly which). Since then, even changing the settings I can remember back, and optimizing things (e.g...
