Question / Help 144hz stuttering

I've made several threads on this, and I haven't received an answer for a couple of months. So I'll try again.

I have an Asus VG248QE, which is a 144hz monitor. I record at 60fps. However, the video that gets produced is choppy. I've tried playing with keyframe intervals with no success. I've tried recording to an ssd to rule out hdd speed with no success. Reinstalls, refresh rate changes between 85 - 100 - 120hz, disabling aero, using Obs Studio, lowering and raising priority, changing video adapters, enabling and disabling cfr, disabling multi threaded optimizations, disabling encoding while previewing, none of it works. This problem isn't linked to just Obs, if this helps. Mirillis Action also experiences this stuttering video.

Have you tried using the recording presets for NVENC in OBS Studio? Classic is a dead project, so you won't find anyone really interesting in any sort of lengthy troubleshooting there. When provided information, best to just stick with Studio logs as Classic logs are useless.

Yes I have tried. Obs studio produces even laggier files than Classic.

The actual encoding from Studio and Classic will be nearly identical. If Studio is producing different files, then the settings aren't the same. Can you provide a new log from Studio with a clean record attempt? Restart OBS, then in Settings -> Output, make sure mode is Simple. Then under the Recording section, set Encoder to NVENC, Recording Quality to Indistinguishable quality, and then make a ~1min recording. After stopping the recording, go to Help -> Log Files -> Upload Current Log and link it here so we can see what's going on.

Something looks off there. It's using the stream encoder for local recordings, and those are definitely not the NVENC Indistinguishable preset settings.

Can you screenshot your Settings -> Output tab?

You missed the step highlighted in bold here. Make those changes and try a recording again.

EDIT: To clarify, you'd pick Indistinguishable Quality first, and then the option to select the encoder will become available. Apologies, I should have reversed the order there.
