So I'm thinking about getting a cheap GPU for my build for recording/streaming with this program (and Kazam on Linux ( let me know if you know of a better Linux recording software)) but I'm not sure what GPU is needed to record games. I couldn't find much help on the interwebz so I've come here. I'm putting a 4770k in my build so it'll have that integrated GPU in it, could that record games and if so, what settings will it record at? Can it still encode the h.264 codec and keep the file size small and quality good? If that's not enough (I'm not really expecting it to work, more or less just hoping it will), what is? I have an old Nvidia card around here somewhere but I'm going to have to look for it. It's like a 8800 or something around that. Not at all game worthy, but it may be enough to record. Also I'm doing this because I'm trying to be able to record without hurting my frames. If I just simply put this old card on the PCI 16 port it should work for what I want, correct? I shouldn't have to even hook it up to a monitor is what I'm thinking. If anyone has any suggestions please let me know. Sorry for typos, I'm on the Ipad and it's 3 am... Thanks for any help!
