Hi,

I did a search but couldn't find anything specific. The general concensus about local recordings seems to be to use hardware encoding whenever possible. I was just wondering if that also applies with an RX480 and i7 7700 (non-k). Wouldn't I be stressing my GPU unnnecessarily by letting it run the game AND doing a lot of the recording work?

To me it seems like that would underload my CPU but I know too little about it so I just thought I'd ask. Would you recommend x264 or GPU encoding in my case?

For recording it doesn't really matter which one you use. Hardware encoder usually uses dedicated chip to do the work and it doesn't affect the game too much. This is something you just have to try and see which one works for you.
