Hi! I'm using vMix in a pc with a i7 4770k, 16gb of RAM and a GTX 960 2Gb. With this configuration I can use Instant Reply and streaming at the same time, but if I start recording the CPU gets 100% of usage and the system doesn't work propperly. The ruby reference system allow me to do this at the same time?

Thanks!

EDIT: I'm using a Decklink Quad capture card.

Hola

did you check the "hardware encoder" option for streaming and recording?

Hola!

No, I didn't. This way it could work fine?

Thanks!

You'll see a significant CPU improvement with recording mpeg2 rather than mp4.

In addition to checking the Hardware Encoder box in a couple of places, here are two more tips.

First, per Martin Sinclair, vMix is optimized to work with Windows 10 Anniversary edition. Don't ask me why.

Second, in the Recording Setup, I'll differ with kjones9999: Use MP4 with FFMPG and with Hardware Encoder checked, Bit Rate of 8 Mbps and Profile of H264Main. This will give a very good recording with a very small bump in CPU.

Thank a lot for your replies. I'll test each option and I'll let you know.

Thanks again!

PS: It is curious Windows 10 Anniversary is the best OS for vMix
