Question / Help How much Bitrate can I run with my Computer?

[IntenseSandvich]

So, I want to record some games like Team Fortress 2 and World of tanks, but I want to know how much bitrate I can run with out it taking too long to encode.

System Specs:
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2400 CPU @ 3.10GHz
RAM: 8 GB
64 bit operating system
AMD Radeon R7 200 Series
1080p Monitor Resolution

And I forgot my previous log file, if this helps: https://gist.github.com/5088d5e1e5b308fa3c84

Taking too long to encode doesn't have anything to do with bitrate, it has to do with your Resolution/FPS/x264 preset settings.

Read this to address the issue properly: https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/high-cpu-usage-taking-too-long-to-encode-read-this-first.11641/

I can tell you just by looking at your log real quick that you are using settings completely unsuitable for your CPU. Why did you change preset to fast, or put a fairly random FPS number? Go back to veryfast x264 preset, 30fps. If you still get the message, you'll have to downscale your resolution.
