Hi guys. My son is interested in recording Minecraft on his CentOS box, but he's having trouble with latency (stuttering video) using RecordMyDesktop. We've upgraded his proc from the A4-4000 to A10-6800, upgraded RAM to 16GB, and tried recording to a solid state drive. The only other option seems to be to upgrade the video card, but with this architecture it seems to be a difficult choice.

Right now his board will only support a 1u PCI-E 16x card. I'm really not sure where to go without upgrading the board, proc, and video card all in one go. We're still learning about desktop recording and tweaking optimization in the game, but hardwarewise what's the smart choice?

Thanks!

Thanks for the reply! I understand how these cards work to capture from external sources, but from the PC itself do you plug the onboard video into a splitter and go one to the monitor one to the capture card? Thanks and if you know of a good primer on how to achieve what I'm doing I'd love to see a link :).

As far as the capture card, that's not my specialty but I know they can be bought reasonably if you do some research. Without a capture card it takes an insane amount of CPU power to record/stream high quality gaming, and I'm talking I7-5960X which is $1000 for just the CPU itself.
