Thanks anon

Won't that affect performance a lot in the resulting video/capture, like it's "lagging"?

Have you tried throwing that shitware in the garbage where it belongs and using Shadowplay?

>>59157292
Not a whole lot. Mostly it will result in accidentally streaming out embarrassing fetishes when he tabs out to a browser

>>59157292
Its acting up. Its recording at 15 fps. Computer is laggy too now.

computer specs?

And how are you encoding? GPU or CPU?

lolololol

You're a retard.

You aren't going to be able to live encode your gaming on a LAPTOP

>>59164054
yes you can
dumb nigger just doesn't have it set properly

If you're fine streaming in 480 or 720p at the lowest quality settings.

Realistically, no you cant. Not to mention, you'll kill that laptop in a few months of that sort of use if you're doing it all the time. 90% of laptops aren't meant for constant 100% load, and gaming WHILE streaming is going to be 100% load basically all the time, even in basic games.

What are you trying to game capture? Don't use monitor capture, shit eats frames.

And I'll grant you that every shitty laptop HP makes is in that 90%, but I actually run a BOINC cluster out of old laptops
They have no issue running at 100% for months at a time. I've got a Lenovo G500 here that computes like a fucking champ and an HP DV series from ~2012 with a 2nd-gen i7 that has been running computations for nearly six months straight. Both machines have spent their entire time with me pushing out 85-degree exhaust and crunching numbers without a single hardware failure. All I did was remove their batteries.

So long as the heat is dissipated effectively, you won't damage the machine with just a few hours of streaming. If the computer's thermal solution was so badly designed that simply doing two things at once would damage it, it wouldn't be worth selling.
Just putting the machine in the stream of an air conditioning vent or next to a desk fan is plenty.
