Question / Help Capture more frames than monitor supports?

[layarion]

My monitor only outputs 60Hz but if i turn v-sync off and tell OBS to record at 120 will it only capture 60?

Before some smart ass comments, i know for a fact that OBS doesn't pull it's video from the monitor but instead perhaps directly from the graphics card. So i think it could be done.

Hint: I'm just doing this to test something, i am NOT doing this for anyone to view and the recording itself will be deleted soon after. And i'll even do it at 800 by 600 resolution to help with that insane amount of frames, i do have an SSD.

'Game Capture' source. The Studio able to render result only at fixed rate: Settings>Video>Integer FPS value up to 120 (or I tested with x264 Fractional FPS value with Numerator = 300 and Denominator = 1, don't know where the upper limit is, but scrolling text at 300 fps is truly smooth). The only restriction you able to watch this footage only frame by frame on such device (maybe useful to produce slow-mo effects, don't know).

So, with game capture it's possible.

ok ill give it a go sometime, i know i can only view it frame by frame, but for my purposes that's just fine.
