frame drop

So recently I got a new computer and I used OBS pretty often on my last one, never had much of an issue with it. For some reason though, on my new computer, I get tremendous frame drops on certain games. The game's framerate is totally fine, it's just the recording. The strangest thing too, is...

So every time I have OBS open when I'm playing a game it feels like the game either lags or feels like I'm running at a lower Hz. I have a 144hz monitor and it usually happens when I'm playing Valorant. I get 300+ FPS but it feels like I'm running at a lower Hz when OBS is open. When OBS is...

Hello. For some time now I have had some trouble using OBS with my capture card, an Elgato HD60 S+. The summary of it is that no matter what my recording settings were, I could not record a steady 60FPS video with my capture card – even when the resolution was at 480p60fps, and CPU usage at...

Hello, I want to become a youtuber, and my dream is 1M subscribers. I started Minecraft, and launched obs. I didn't change any settings. I just plain hit record, and it was smooth gameplay, but when I watched the video, it LAGGED like crazy. My laptop is : intel core i7, 2.60ghz, and 20gb RAM...

Hey guys I REALLY need help. I had been streaming for about a month with no issues at all at 3500kbs - CBR - 60fps - 1080x720 on the Auto (Recommended) ingest server. The streamed looked really good! My upload speed is 24 Mbps. Life was good. But a week ago out of nowhere my video quality is...

I’ve never had many issues with OBS and my (older) Mac but most recently I purchased a brand new MacBook Pro and OBS is now basically unusable. I’m not computer savvy but I believe it’s an encoding issue. OBS is reporting a 95% frame drop and basically makes my streams unwatchable and...

I recorded a Last of Us 2 video earlier and after recording, I was very disappointed to find out how much stuttering there was in the video to the point that it looks frozen. The audio sounds fine though. I think this is because I tried recording at CBR 75000 bitrate. Is that too much? I usually...

I have been having a bit more trouble lately recording GTA V on PC than i used to. I noticed this when i was recording one of my last videos on it, the first couple of videos i recorded the dropped frames weren't that bad, but my final one the dropped frames was around 40%. So today right as i...

Hey. In the past 2 weeks streaming has become impossible for me because of the bitrate spikes. I can't really trace them to anything because my internet connection is quite stable otherwise. I haven't had any problems with my connection while playing online games or doing anything else connected...

Hey guys, so I've been recently having problems with dropped frames on OBS. My connection status seems to be great since both upload and download speed are stable and I can access internet without any issues at all. Even went live on youtube with just webcam on YT Studio. What can be the...

I followed a video for recording settings and everything went fine and the recording came out good for OSU but then I tried another game which is more demanding, Destiny 2 and the recording came out laggy. I went back and looked at the osu recording and it was lagging again.

Whenever I’m streaming Fortnite using OBS, I get FPS drops and input lag (I’m assuming that’s what it’s called.) In case I’m using the wrong term, I’ll just explain it: the FPS is noticeably lower than normal, and there is a significant delay between me doing something on my mouse and keyboard...

Hello, I am new to the OBS/recording community and I am having some issues with the playback quality of my recordings. When I view my recording, the playback is choppy and looks like it skips frames. I have tried many things and nothing seems to work or make it better. Below is a list of of...

Hey gamers. I've been trying to record and stream from my 144hz gaming computer to my streaming rig. I've tried everything but when I'm at 144hz it has terrible frame stutter. My gaming PC isn't dropping FPS in game or losing frames My recording PC isn't dropping frames either. I've found...

Hi there, I seem to be dropping alot of frames of my stream and I don't know why, this has been happening since yesterday and I have no clue why. Can someone have a look at my OBS logs and see what may be the problem? I don't know if it's just my Broadband playing up...

Hello, I’ve been recording with obs for long now and never had a problem of frame drops, even on gta san andreas the first time I played it it hit +150fps with obs recording without the slightest problem. But now whenever I am recording I open the game it hits the usual +150fps and two seconds...

Hi, all. I'm having an issue using the NDI plugin for local recording and streaming. I have had a dual PC setup for a couple months now, and it worked fine for local recording. I have my gaming PC and encoding PC connected to my router with the same gigabit cables, and I haven't changed any kind...

Hello everyone ! I have this problem for almost 3 months and I still haven't found a solution to the point where I stopped streaming the game... Since the game changed platform and moved to Steam. When I try to play it with OBS set to a scene with a display capture (the only way to stream...

Hey all, I'm at my wits end here trying to figure out what's going on here. Two days ago, I was streaming Jedi: Fallen Order perfectly fine and seamlessly; absolutely no issues and the output was buttery smooth...you could spread that beast onto toast. The game is set to cap itself at 60FPS and...

So I have my PC linked with my more powerful laptop. I have them linked with NDI, the display on both the OBS windows (both PC and Laptop) is a good 60 FPS. Even when I press record on my laptop the preview still stays at 60 FPS. I set the setting so that OBS can use all the CPU it wants since...
