Hi everyone, so I've started livestreaming and was curious if you guys could help me answer some questions.
My rig is:
Intel-i5 4690k
EVGA NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 SSC
8GB G.Skills Ripjaws RAM
BenQ XL2411Z 144HZ Monitor
Elgato Game Capture HD60
I'm using 1 of my 2 DVI ports for my BenQ and the other is using a DVI converter to HDMI for the Elgato and the 3rd port is an HDMI that's connected to my 2nd display.
So, BenQ / Elgato on the DVI's and my 2nd display on the 1 HDMI Port.
It uses the Elgato as a 3rd display, so I'm duplicating my BenQ's display (gameplay) onto the Capture Device.
What I want to know is, can I use the Elgato to stream/record my display without capping my games at 60fps?
For example, when I try to play League of Legends, my game force caps itself at 60fps, but my cap settings are at 144fps. I'm assuming because I have a 60fps display connected to my 144fps display, it's forcing it into 60fps.
Can I play at 144fps and have the Elgato capture 60fps without down-scaling my frame-rate?
I have it setup and capturing in OBS as a Video Capture Device and it streams/records just fine.
Thank you to all that can help!
