Help 2 CPU streaming/recording set-up

[Apristian30]

Hello

I am trying to find out how to set-up 2 computer to work simultaneously.

I want to have PC1 (Gaming PC) do the gaming
and PC2 (Recording PC) to do all the recording from anything it captures off PC1.


I don't want suggestions for software on PC1 because i already tried that and it works ok but i would like to have better quality. (OBS, Action, Fraps)

I already have PC2 and it isn't really used all that much except for storage and occasionally editing when i don't want to bottleneck PC1. I also don't have a capture card but this set-up has an HD7870 and a 965 Phenom Black Edition with 8GBs of ram.


Any other suggestions would be appreciated. I was wondering if getting an HDMI splitter would help using my current set-up.

you need a capture card on the 2nd PC to capture the video and relay it back to the monitor. All the other video/hdmi ports on your computers are Output only, they won't receive signals.
