4k 100/200fps Recording

[FlewbusMcGee]

Hello,

I am just curious on if any of you think this is possible, since I plan on upgrading to a AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1950x when it comes out. The storage speed and size isn't a problem.

Specs after upgrade:

CPU: Ryzen 1950x
GPU: GTX 1070 zotac AMP Extreme
RAM: 64GB Gskill Trident Z RGB

I will be using OBS studio for recording. I won't do raw because at that framerate it would be 100gb/s.

Setting for OBS:

Atleast 20,000 bitrate
H.264 encoding

If you guys want any more details that I possibly missed, let me know.

Thanks.

What game are you going to be able to pump out 200fps in, and why since you can only view anything at 4k@60 fps anyways

I can play BO2 4k 100+fps, I havnt messed with star wars battlefront (The new one) because that was the game I wanted to do it in. I was asking since I edit clips from those games and 200+fps is necessary for good slow motion and things like that.

Well, the problem is that even the GTX Titan & 1080Ti can't reliably supply 100+ FPS for all games at 4K, let alone 200+ FPS. A GTX 1070 just isn't going to cut it.

I can get over 100fps at 4k on my 1070. Depends on the game. I can do it with GTA v, but at high settings. And bo2 I can do 4k max settings over 100fps. So the gpu isn't a problem here.

100+FPS <> 200+ FPS. You said you wanted to be able to record/play at 200+ FPS to be able to do slow-motion video. The main point is, at 4K resolutions any bottleneck is going to be a result of the GPU.. So unless your GTX 1070 can currently hit 200+ FPS reliably in every game you plan on recording/streaming, then it wont' matter what CPU you upgrade to. Not without dialing down the quality settings so severely that the video will look horrible at 4K.

And that's assuming that the game doesn't have hard-coded limitations (i.e. Dark Souls III is hard-coded to cap at 60FPS. Doesn't matter the resolution, doesn't matter the quality settings, doesn't even matter if you have 4 GTX 1080Tis running in SLI).

My GPU can hit over 100fps on games that I want to record on at 4k with settings tweaked. I am currently using my gpu to record since my cpu can't handle to record at 1080 60fps. The cpu I have is a i7 2600, so it definitely needs replacing. I want to record with my cpu( the new one) because it will take the load of recording off my gpu and will result in high fps while recording and my cpu will definitely be able to handle more higher quality recording than my gpu.
