The author's own measurements on one PC (RX 9070 XT, Ryzen 9 9950X3D). Electron figures are live samples of the installed 0.9 build, not a controlled comparison.
Frames stay on the GPU
Captured, scaled and H.264-encoded on the graphics card. Raw frames never reach system memory.
Three tracks, one clock
Game, Discord and mic are captured separately over WASAPI and stamped with the video's clock.
A save is a remux
The last seconds are copied from an on-disk buffer into an MP4 by Switchboard's own muxer.
Built for specific work.
