Hello Everyone,
i started to record DayZ with OBS but when i watch the video, the quality is really not that good as it should be. i will list the details of my pc and my settings fro OBS.
-Screeen Resolution is 1920x1080
-Intel Core i5 2320 CPU @ 3.00 GHz
-4 Gb RAM
-SATA Harddisk
-MSI NVidia GeForce GT 640 4GB

I dont loose FPS when i recording, no lags, the game works perfectly.
So am i even able to record in good Quality?

Here is a link with my OBS settings;
and a link where you can see my quality.

Bitrate 300 ? Buffer 350 ?
If you are just recordings and dont plan on streaming:
Bitrate 1000, Buffer 0
And in the advanced settings activate "use custom x264 encoder settings" and add crf=15 into the textfield that is now usable :) This should increase your quality significantly.

i tried with changing the buffer and bitrate, the quality is awesome now, but when i watch the video, it lags a lot. like makes little breaks and stuttering

I would need to see a log file (here is how)! But what you can try is reducing the cpu usage by lowering the compression. In the picture I posted above, the x264 CPU preset is set to its default veryfast. If you try superfast or even ultrafast (just select it in the dropdown), this will reduce the cpu usage. The quality will stay the same, but the bitrate usage will be a bit higher.
