[SOLVED] Is there a way to record in 1080p even if my monitor has a lower resolution?

[Dawee]

Hi everyone. Sorry if it's not the best place to ask but I have a problem.

The thing is that I bought a new PC in order to play games and start a YouTube channel. However, at this moment I don't have money for a monitor and I'm gonna use an old one until I am able to buy something new. There is a problem though, the monitor resolution is 1680x1050 and I want to record in FULL HD. Is there a way to record in 1080p even if my monitor has a lower resolution? I don't mind if I can't see full hd while playing, cause obviously I can't add physical pixels but I wonder if I can record in a bigger resolution than my screen has, I want to have a good video quality.

What are the spces for your system (make/model of all installed components)? What application(s) will you use to record/capture video?

Yes, depending on what GPU you have you can set it up to use a higher resolution than your monitor has, nvidia calls it dynamic super resolution, AMD I think has something similar.

I use streamlabs to record. Those are my pc specs:

i3-10105
16gb ram 3000 (runs at 2666)
rx 560 4gb GDDR5
gigabyte h410M H V2
250gb ssd m.2

I don't use the app, but it looks like in the settings, you can change the output resolution to be different than the system resolution.

I suspect you should lower your settings to 720p for better performance.
