The result came out pretty good! File size was fairly large at 1.5 GB (about 16 minutes of footage, so roughly 1 GB for every 10 minutes) at High quality, but I didn’t notice any slowdowns playing the game while recording. I recorded some footage of the Metroid Prime remastered mod with this. GamingOnLinux had also recently touched on this. The developer of this project claims this significantly reduces CPU usage, “at around 0%” due to keeping the window image on the GPU and sending it directly to the video encoding unit with CUDA.
Introducing a new, open-source screen recorder: gpu screen recorder.
But you might have noticed something while trying to record gameplay on Linux: the CPU gets taxed quite a bit, even when using the NVENC encoder on NVIDIA GPUs. These benchmarks are meant to give a general idea of recording software performance.īesides, the unique features of one gaming capture program may lead you to pick it over another regardless of potential performance concerns.Don’t get me wrong OBS is a great tool to record your screen, regardless of what operating system your using. Your CPU, graphics card, other hardware, and software running in the background can greatly affect results. The performance hit created by video capture software can vary wildly among different PC configurations. Take our benchmarking numbers with a slight grain of salt, though. Using this setup shows how budget systems fare while gaming and recording at the same time.
The point wasn’t to see what a tremendously powerful system can do, because tremendously powerful systems won’t have much of a problem running anything. We don’t use a top-of-the-line rig for our tests, but a laptop with an external GPU setup. We also consider how easy or difficult it is to install and configure the software, what it’s like to activate it in the moment, and how easy the software’s interface is to use and understand.
