I aim to compare several games on an older machine using Afterburner for recording. Since I lack a capture card, I must record internally. I'm curious about the impact of running both benchmarking and recording simultaneously. With a 2-core dual processor and 4GB RAM, I plan to upgrade to a 2-core quad next. How much will this affect my frame rate during these tasks?

OSD from afterburner causes a minor decrease in FPS, and recording also experiences a slight drop in FPS.

Are you considering purchasing a capture card because the drop might be substantial enough, or are you unsure and prefer to avoid them?

afterburner osd has a light profile, fps drops only when polling rate changes. Recording will rely on the CPU, but using GPU hardware encoding keeps performance stable. With CPU encoding, performance loss may be significant (varies by codec).
