Need a tool to record or capture screens in 4K quality?
I’m searching for high-quality game recording tools and screen capture options. Previously, OBS worked well in 1080p, but now it struggles with scaling and doesn’t play nicely with Adobe Premiere or Sony Vegas. After testing OBS settings, I suspect the issue lies with the correct configuration or its current limitations for 4K output. I’m currently using Nvidia’s Shadow Play, which functions until you attempt Push to Talk—green artifacts appear, making it hard to remove them. For instructional game videos, I need a solution that records without excessive resource usage and supports 4K output. Adding voice narration is important. Would you recommend any game recording software that can capture video at 4K without heavy compression, while also letting you insert your voice during editing? I’m open to suggestions that preserve quality and avoid re-encoding to 1080p.
I’m fine with the cost if it adds value, but I prefer to pay only once rather than subscribing repeatedly.
You can't record and stream in 4K simultaneously without using a dedicated 4K encoder. The current NVENC feature doesn't support 4K encoding.
Bandicam handles 4K recording well and doesn’t overly strain performance. I usually drop just a few frames per second during recording. The file size should be bigger than Shadowplay since the bitrate is much higher, even when you lower edit settings. Right now I’m not sure if Bandicam supports push to talk, so I can’t confirm.
