Question / Help Is my computer good enough for 1080p@60fps?

[SqueezedPath04]

Hello.

I hope everybody is having a great day. Today I was looking at previous threads and I could not find anything that would answer my question. As a result, this brings me to ask you guys if my computer can handle 1080p@60fps. If it can not, please recommend a resolution at the framerate.

System Specs:
AMD FX-8370(No overclock)
Nvidia Geforce GTX 980
32GB of RAM
Micomsoft SC-512

P.S. Space is not a problem for me. Also, I plan to record a lot of high motion games.

For streaming, no. And if you're streaming to twitch without partnership (and transcoding options) you should avoid 1080p resolutions anyway.

For recording, maybe. You'd need to follow https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/how-to-make-high-quality-local-recordings.12600/

I don't plan to stream since my upload is total garbage. I just plan to use OBS recording at the moment. I'll play with the settings from the thread that you suggested; however, I don't when I'll have time because of college so I'll try to respond as soon as possible.

If you're making local recordings I would recommend Shadowplay really since you have a GTX 980.. If you plan to use overlays and such then just use the Nvidia plugin in OBS? I don't think your CPU is in any state to be encoding at 1080p60 while playing games..

I plan to record consoles and I figured my CPU wasn't up to playing games and encoding at the same time. If I do use Shadowplay, what do you recommend for the bitrate?

Edit: I meant Nvenc.

Hello,
Sorry for the late reply. I have been very busy. I tried to record using Nvenc because I was using amarectv for capture. The audio would go low then go back to normal when I was in a match of Halo 5.
