HI Guys
I Have recently moved from console gaming and now am on PC,,,,
I Had a HD PVR 1 ,,,, Component converter I tried using a VGA converter no luck @720p ,,, Then I tried a HDMI converter and had the same issues only picture @480p and not 720p or higher so i have sold my HD PVR,,,,,,

I Have a Zotac Nvidia Geforce GTX 580 And i am wanting to find the best solution to record gameplay without having HDCP Issues ,,,,,
I have tried and number of game recording with IE ,,, Fraps/d3dgear and so on,,
without really the quality I am wanting,,,

I was going to buy the Avermedia HD Live Broadcaster but looking into it its saying its not HDCP Compatible but for the cost its not worth risking?

Also I have looked into the Elgato HD Recorder as on youtube there is a number of people claiming to be using the Elgato,,, As far as i can tell through the HDMI Cable it read the signal as a Extended display,,,something i am interested in,,,

Anyway to cut a long story short I do not really want to buy something I Am not 100% confident that is going to work for my needs as these things are expensive and i am sick of wasting money i might as well ask you guy,s

Could someone please let me know which is the best device just to record my gameplay i do not have a blue ray player or burner and should not see why i should be punished for something i do not use???

dual cpu's are usually server cpu's that have poor gaming abilities, for example an i5-3570k will crush an 12 core 1000-2000$ xeon processor in games ( because most games use 2 - 4 cores, there are few exceptions that can use 6-8, like BF3
