@prolurker:I am currently gaming on a 4k/60 Monitor. It's great for the PS5 but even then, I almost always choose performance over quality, and usually end up gaming with variable resolutions closer to 1440P anyway.
@j_unit2008: The disc / storage piece are not an issue for me, as I have been mostly digital since 2018 or so! Yes, that's the plan, to use it as a gamepass machine and for those few Xbox exclusives that won't come to PS5. I am a bit concerned as to what games on the Series S will play like post cross-gen releases. Do you think the Series S will be good enough for those, given what it does now?
I know we're still deep in the cross-gen years, but I have been thinking about picking up a Series S. I am mainly thinking of picking it up to supplement my PS5, but I am a bit worried about it's ability to maintain a higher framerate (framerate > resolution forever!). For those of you who picked one up, what are your thoughts? Should I pull the trigger, or wait for a series X?
If you want to start dabbling with some video editing for the low, low price of zero dollars, the PS5's built-in video recording is quite high quality and can record in chunks of at least an hour at a time. You can pull those files off the console with a USB drive, and there are some free video editing options out there like Davinci Resolve or Kdenlive you can use to try editing some stuff together.
This is probably not any kind of permanent workflow, but you could get a decent amount done with it, and it's more than enough to let you get a feel for things before you start investing in capture boxes and a Premiere license.
This is a great idea! And the release of Hitman 3 is the perfect candidate for some practice- thank you, Brad!
@conker: Seems like an okay deal, and Gigabyte's offerings have gotten a lot better over recent years.
i7/2060 is a great combo, just not for battery life. It'll be a "plug it in almost always" type thing.
Amazing, thank you! I don't see myself using it to do any serious work unplugged. Will it be sufficient enough for capture/editing, and how future proof do you think it will be?
@rorie@ikuorai Thank you both! This is super helpful! Yes, I think the plan is to start with game capture / video editing to hopefully dabbling in streaming as well. It sounds like for both the capture and the editing, GPU performance will be important. It sounds like perhaps a mid-range GPU would be considered bare minimum? Does the Geforce 1650 fit the bill?
In terms of voice recording, is there any soundproofing I need to do around my room?
Edit: Are there any compatibility issues with AMD processors, or should I stick to Intel?
I'm looking to try my hand at learning how to capture game footage (mainly from my PS5) + cut that footage for a video. The problem is, I am very new to all of this, and I am looking for some tips! Here is what I know so far:
My basic laptop will not suffice for video editing requirements or elgato capture (in CPU, GPU, and Ram). What minimum CPU/GPU combo should I be looking for in a new laptop? I know Elgato's HD60 S+ requires a Geforce 10xx as a minimum, but what is optimal?
Are there any other pieces of software, other than Premiere Pro, that I should be investing in?
I'm in Canada, so prices / laptop availability may vary
What other hardware do I need, aside from the elgato device and the actual laptop?
My budget currently is around ~1500 USD- is that more than I would need? I am interested in branching out to streaming at some point, so I would likely want the hardware/software to support that too.
Anyone having luck with the unscoped bolt action rifles? I love those weapons but them seem underpowered in the game.
I'm having a great time with them. Within a certain range they are one shot body kills but its not two hard to follow up with another shot. I find if they dont know where you are they'll usually just hit prone, making them an easy target
@conker: Seems similar to my feelings on the game so far too. The more I play, the more I keep coming across things to nit pick that irritate me. The range does seem messed up on some automatic weapons as I can fire half a clip into someone from a self-loader and get messed up from an SMG from miles away. It's hard to tell if it the game of people with terrible internet connections as the amount of times I fire rounds into people only to be killed by them and see they still have 100% health. Also I noticed that there's some terrible collision detection when firing over or around some types of cover. All in all still enjoying it and i'm sure they'll iron out some of the issues. I'm not sure i'm sold on the weapons overall as I play as a medic and all the rifles seems the same and NONE of them seem particularly good. Maybe it's just me.
I'm mostly playing medic as well. Dunno about you but I'm definitely seeing differences between the rifles. Probably a tie between that Mandragon and the 8.25 extended (with the default rifle a close second). I like that (at least from my experience) more players are actually paying attention when they die and a medic is nearby, instead of just insta resetting.
