Most of my footage is from CS:GO and sometimes i see the warning that the encoding is overloaded so I came up with a question. Is recording at a higher resolution less demanding than scaling to a lower resolution while recording? At the moment I set the Canvas to 1920x1080 but the Output (scaled) to 1280x720 because I'm uploading the footage at that resolution, but I can edit at a higher resolution. Also the system is a bit old, and on the lower end with Intel i3 3220 3.3GHz dualcore, 4 threads, AMD(ATI) Radeo 6670 and two monitors, main one from wich I'm capturing at 1080p, and the second one at 1366x768. At intensive scenes the quality is poor, but I'll try tweaking that. This is the log from the last recording: https://obsproject.com/logs/EN7pkXkfJadNMMkF
