Quick outline of my goal: To stream in 720p-60fps and record in 1080p-60fps simultaneously on one machine, if possible.

Quick outline of specs: i7 8700k (stock specs atm although kraken x62 so can OC), 16gigs of dd4 2800mhz ram and a weak-ish Gtx nvidia 950 ssc.

I can record with 24,000 bitrate for 1080p-60fps with obs studio just fine, but my CPU usage is high when I try to record while I'm already streaming at 2500 bit rate for 720p-60fps. Is shadow-play my best solution? I'm trying to make my you tube video's while I stream to be time efficient.

I plan on upgrading my GPU very soon anyways because I bought a 240hz monitor and I'm currently at 180fps avg. with my current settings.

Thank you,
Tyler
