	Hi all, I've purchased my Desktop from CyberPower about 7 months ago and I really enjoy it. I started to play Forza Horizon 4 and my pc runs it smooth on high settings. I had issues when I started to record my gameplay, quality and fps drop in game and lower quality video. Based on my specs, what would I need to upgrade to run both smoothly. GPU: Radeon RX 580 series VRAM4096 MB / GDDR5 1750 MHz CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 2600 Six-Core Processor 8GB RAM I have an SSD and a HDD, does it matter where the game is installed and/or where the video is recorded? I haven't overclocked this setup, would that be enough to help? Any info is appreciated. Thank you :) Ross

	What video capture card did you buy? Or are you just using software? Software will strain the CPU and cause lower frame rates, worse on AMD cores. So look into that 1st then a cpu upgrade and memory 2nd.

Find out moreabout benchmarking from UL

3DMark Time Spy is a popular and effective benchmarking tool for rating gaming performance. It is used by millions of gamers, hundreds of hardware sites and many leading manufacturers. The higher the score, the better the performance and user experience. Note that the frames per second numbers indicate the typical FPS.

Level	1
Step Into the Game	The system is capable of providing a good user experience in the vast majority of 1080p games with medium – standard settings.
Level	2
Next Level of Gaming	You can comfortably play all current 1080p games with high graphics settings. All products on level 2 and above are ready for VR.
Level	3
Kick it into High Gear	You can play all popular game titles with the same graphics setting as Level 2 and many games at max graphics setting at 1440p resolution.
Level	4
Elite Gaming Experience	Virtually all games run 60 FPS or more at 1440p resolution with highest graphics settings, and many games also run excellent in 4K resolution.

Not every system and configuration will be tested explicitly. The scores and data presented are provided by UL and are an estimate of expected performance. UL tests all hardware in controlled conditions. Benchmark results may vary on some systems but have a precision with a margin of 3 percent. Changes in software, such as system updates, driver updates, or changes to the game may affect performance. In very special cases, the device is of a nature that does not deliver consistent performance.

All PCs are tested with games running in 1080p resolution with medium quality settings. The more powerful PCs are also tested with games running in 1440p resolution with the highest graphical settings.
