10-06-2016, 10:55 PM #13I’m mainly worried about the game’s performance—it runs around 300 to 400 frames per second on my laptop. I’ve noticed others achieving over 800 fps with an Intel HD5500, which makes me think it might slow down stream encoding. Before jumping into a capture card, I’ll test this myself. Thanks
