Hi everyone, first of all these are my pc stats:

AMD FX(tm)-6300 Sic-core Processor , 3.50 GHz
8 GB Ram
GIGABYTE Geforce GTX 750ti
Windows® 7, 64 bit
PSU Thermaltake 700 watt

My question is: Will getting en elgato game capture card help me record higher graph. Games without using much cpu and gpu ? At the moment i use OBS and it works ok but i want to take some weight of my pc's shoulders will the capture card help ? ive seen CPU ussages go up to 80% when capturing game, cam, and my at2020 xlr mic.
If not what would be an worthy upgrade ?

Since the elgato game capture devices use hardware to capture the output of the computer, (except the software used to start/stop recording) It will almost be as close to playing the game without capturing (FPS wise). I've previously owner a Elgato capture card, and i thought it was amazing :) but sadly didn't get into record very often, so it was a waste of money for me. I would only buy this if your are confident you want to start producing content and know you wont give up. (As an added bonus, im fairly sure you can also stream from the Elgato, if you want to get into that.)
