Posting Mad!
With Linux being more efficient than Windows (on the resource side of things, at least) I'm wondering if I should start recording games on Linux, then switch to Windows to edit/render.
A lot of games I have to bump down the video settings (such as from 60fps to 30, lower bitrate, and for one game I had to make the base recording resolution 1600x900 to not have my processor hit 100% usage), when I really shouldn't have to. Subnautica is an example. The recommended processor is a Haswell 4 core 3.2GHz, while I have the FX-6300 at 3.8GHz OC'd (stable). I suspect the GPU is causing more load to be put on the CPU than needs to be (Radeon HD 6870), as the only things I have running during recording are Audacity, OBS, Steam, and the game itself.
I can't help but hope that recording games on Linux (not Subnautica, but games that have Linux support, like Minecraft) would allow me to bump up the quality a bit.
My normal encoding settings:
Bumping down the framerate from 60 to 30 typically solves any high CPU usage, but in the case of Mirror's Edge I had to bump down base resolutions of the game and the recorder to 1600x900.
System specs:
Thanks in advance!
