My own pc I built myself, there is no way I would buy a crappy put together one from dell or anybody else

Adding to Spazbo's answer, minimum i7 8th gen or Ryzen 2000 series.

whatever you do dont buy alienware as they have the worst airflow in a pc i've ever seen

@Digger: Has that Magical Quest 3 vid finished uploading? I was going to process that but saw it's still WIP...

something good enough for 4k capture and an rtx graphics card

I was just asking for some ideas when I finally upgrade my setup.

@KAGE-008 Thanks for the info, but I was asking what kind of computer is Spazbo4 using. Dell Desktop? Alienware? Acer?

Read this thread if you plan on recording anything from the new-gen consoles.

@Spazbo4 I know I'm changing the subject, but what kind of computer do you use for your PS5/4K Longplays?

@Spazbo4 All I put it on is 60fps and what destination folder I want. Other than that, I leave it alone.

@Gamezopher No prob. Also, I never really use PS Now. I prefer to use disc-based games if possible.

I meant in-game options. As for recording I use Elgato HD60 on 1080p (sometimes 720p if it's PS3) for HDMI stuff.

I think he's referring to the capture device settings. Because I've looked at his 2D vids and they look fine to me.

@DiggerandIndy: what do you leave on default? encoding settings? because for 2D encoding we have a profile that we use

Modern games require settings that ensure a balance between quality and file size. It's different from retro stuff where pixel quality counts.

Oh. Did you record it from let's say Playstation Now? Was it from a streaming service? Then that might explain the forced compressed quality.

Of course, you're doing a great work, I hope I'm not coming off as super picky. I just think video quality should feel like pixel-perfect rather than compressed like bad JPEG files.

Same for 'Scott Pilgrim vs. the World: The Game - Complete Edition'. I can't add them to my longplay collection on my HDDs due to this

@Gamezopher I think there's some options where you COULD make it pixel-perfect, but I left it on default. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Hey DiggerandIndy, I'm always a huge fan of your longplays. I should however mention that your Capcom Beat'em Up Bundle videos are full of moving artifacts rather than being pixel-perfect.
