what sort of system you need to record while gaming?

i dont know if its the software or just my computer lacks, but ive been making some few minute gameplay videos for my youtube channel and when i record i get some stutter little more than when im not recording, but im not using fraps any more other than fps count as it stoops to 30fps and really crappy, so im using a program called 'Action' which seems pretty good actually.

i dont know if its amd related or my version of the game, but since putting my 270x in fallout 4 while has better fps is a lot more jerky than when i had my 560 in and more so when recording which wasnt what i was expecting from the radeon.

so yeah, what do you need to have smooth gameplay while recording that isnt the result of a capture box/

asus h81m-plus
i3 4160
16gb corsair 1600mhz ram
r9 270x
seasonic s12 520w 80 plus bronze

couple hard drives and an optical, but not going to effect anything.

hmm what i wrote didnt seem to post??.

anyways thanks for the replies and i didnt think about raptr, but this 'action' is pretty good, find it better than bandicam, just think since installing my radeon fallout not been as smooth recording or not and when i am recording on a game its not a smooth running at times as when i had my gtx in which seemed to have less record stutter.

mean this is my gpu-z report showing the driver i have installed, is this a big impact on the performance?

i will do as you suggested and try a lower res, i know battlefield 4 ran hello of a lot better in window mode, but i only did that for testing the sensors on gpu-z rather than recording as i used my ipad.

i just had a thought.

i just did an update for the division and it screwed up at first, a restart of the computer then a restart of the game as it put me in window mode and kept 'not responding', but then couple minutes of game it restarted my whole computer, not now seems to be okay, anyways i kept the window mode i shrunk it more than it started with and started recording, fps was higher, but then all over the place and a lot of stutter, i figured this was down to the update, but then it dawned on me i have that play.tv client recording as well, not by choice, so maybe that is why im having issues with this particular game maybe lol??

FO4 just doesnt like my amd it seems anyways and i havent tried BF4 again as im finished with recordings of that for now, my focal point is the division currently.
