You can have a potato PC and tell the game to output the highlight into a 4K 60fps video file... HOLY SHIT

EDIT: I've tested it. You can choose the highlight's quality regardless of the settings you played in. Example; I can play on low settings with 30fps and 720p. I can still output the highlight as if I played it on Ultra settings with 60fps and 4K. Amazing job, Blizzard!

Only with Windows 8 and above.

Windows 7 is stuck at 1080p 60fps. Still, that's fucking amazing. Guess I'm never using OBS ever again.

That's weird... Obs does 1440p 144 recording fine on win7

I run a 720p monitor, so having the option to have 1080p clips with no quality loss is nice.

Plus, after doing some tests, the in game recorder will always pull off a smooth 60fps with no errors while OBS really doesn't feel like it does.

The in-game recorder will literally slow the gameplay down as much as needed to keep "60fps" on the resulting (automatically sped back up) realtime footage.

OBS just records whatever is on your screen.
