Do I need a powerful video card to record video from the screen?

Question

Programming

Which piece of hardware is more heavily loaded if you record the screen, for example, through Bandicam?
processor i7-4790 + intel HD 4600. Writes from directx-window 20 fps in 720p. Those. not at all.
Will buying a normal card solve the problem? in the "bandicam" settings it is not explicitly indicated what is used for recording.

Answer 1

If you record without conversion and processing, then neither a powerful processor nor a video card is required.
All you need is a good hard drive.
If you encode "on the fly" - then either shift the task to the processor - then buy a fast processor, or shift the task to the GPU - then you need a powerful video card.
But it all depends on the software, whether the program can work through the GPU or only the processor.

Answer 2

Your card supports Intel Quick Sync Video. Look for software that supports this technology.

Answer 3

Which piece of iron is more heavily loaded if you record the screen

So freeze. Since directx means Windows, it means there is a lot of software for monitoring the loading of iron (perhaps there is even a regular one).
First of all, it is worth checking the disk subsystem.

Answer 4

For recording raw data - no. To record with compression in some format, it will be useful to speed up compression using a video card...
