Speysider if the fps is atleast 20-30 it should be fine, not this stuff -.- Maybe later we can increase the req but we're just trying to get people to post vids so I think the min specs are ridiculous. No, just because you can achieve 30fps ingame without recording, doesn't mean your system can take the strain of constantly recording at that framerate. You clearly have no idea about how much strain a system is put under when you record with any capture program. The whole point of this is to have a SMALL subset of users making content: if we just let every single person record, it will be unmanagable and impossible to control: this is why having strict recording requirements is necessary.

See those specs up there ? I hit all those requirements and I STILL struggle to record Skyrim at 50fps 1920x1080 resolution without small lag spikes. It's not as easier as you seem to believe. I've been making content on YT for 3 years so I think I know what I'm talking about.

@Spartan Jack 17: Recording and playing at 30fps in games just looks bad. We want high quality content, not low quality: hence the 50fps recording requirement. Quality is more important than just uploading videos for the sake of it.
