A little over two years ago was when I started YouTube, and I tried to be a gamer on what was definitely in the bottom 5% of all YouTube gamer laptops by performance. It could not record a solid 30fps at even 720p let alone 1080 since it wasn't a 1080p display.
I got a better laptop, it was and still is able to record some lighter titled at 720p60, but mostly 720p30 since it's a 1366x768 display.
If you want to be a YouTube gamer, you simply can't do it on hardware that is too light to run things either smooth or high in settings.
I don't record on laptops anymore.
