Is it possible to record my PC game-play with another PC?

Price and materials are not an issue. Is it possible?

I just had a Idea its Free and simple what i would do is use Some remote access software to view the screen of gaming pc and record it over lan.

Hmm, seem's doable. But wouldn't it have choppy footage?

I dont think it would effect that much but

The Stream my game is also another thing you can use

and if you want hd i suggest you use wired lines not wireless NAS is one Option.

Yes. It would be pretty choppy.

You'd need something like this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16815100100

That would work, but if I was to buy a capture card, I might as well grab one for the current computer. Thanks though!

That would work, but I'm looking for full Res 😛

Why not just use Fraps?

What about splitting an HDMI?

Too taxing on the CPU when playing most games.

You'd still need a capture card 😛

A capture card will tax the CPU exactly the same. At least with Fraps, you can select video size and FPS.

hmm, I have an i7-920. If I OC'ed that to 4 GHz do you think that would stop the frame drops in games while recording?

There would be no frame drops. You'd put in the capture card into the other PC, which will do all the work. Then you either get a HDMI splitter or pass the HDMI though the capture card, and then put it onto your monitor.

The capture card that I linked has an built-in encoder, so it wouldn't take any CPU power anyway. You could get a cheaper one without an encoder, if you use another PC for capture.

I meant, if I didn't get a separate capture card, do you think I could eliminate frame drops b OC'ing that high?

Maybe? Probably not though, if you're having frame drops already. But it should help quite a lot.
