Hello!

I hope this is the right place to post this.

I've been having issues while recording League of Legends. I don't have an extremely good/new PC or anything, but it's not an old piece of crap neither, and I can't find the right settings to be able to record with a least 60 fps without droping or getting too low quality.

League of Legends is not even an AAA game. I feel like with my PC I should be able to record with at least 60 FPS with everything maxed, but it's not the case. Not even in medium or less.

I tried recording with Game DVR and it's fine in the beginning (144+ FPS in the first minutes) but I progressively drop FPS up to around 30. Might be something with the video size in the HDD?

It seems like I'm missing something. Or my pc really is that bad?

This is my pc:

AMD FX-6300 VISHERA
RADEON R7 260X 2GB DDR
ASROCK 960GM-VGS3 FX
SEAGATE PIPELINE HD 2 1TB
KINGSTON FURY HYPERX DDR3 8GB 1600MHz


Should I be looking for upgrading some of the components?


I can answer any question if I'm missing something.

Thanks beforehand!

Hey!

Thanks for answering so quickly.

I've uploaded the log file.
I've also read the other post some days ago, but none of those settings works 100% for me u_u

Try capping your fps in-game, this by itself should most definitely help your fps a bit.
Try for 'Above Normal' task priority of OBS in task manager, this might assist in your recording fps.

Your 2nd & 3rd recording attempts are fine going by your log, nothing out of the ordinary from what I can see though I am by no means an expert.

Maybe your CPU core usage is (or very close) to hitting 100%? If this happens your in-game fps will suffer, though not progressively drop so not sure.

I'm not exactly sure what you mean with "limit FPS".
The thing is I start recording with 144 FPS (it is capped at that number), but it progressively drops to near 30 FPS, and I don't want to record at 30 FPS. You are saying that if I cap them at 60 FPS I shouldn't be seeing the drops?

Thanks again!

I also will upload another log this night in case something went wrong with this one.

Sorry for late reply, forum threads flow thick and fast and I have a bad memory sometimes.

In your previous log file you had some encoder lag, though minor. I would say your CPU is being hammered by request to run the game at more fps than it can handle when you are recording.
I believe the reason why you are seeing a progressive decline in fps is because your in-game fps is too high to allow for your CPU and GPU to handle recording at the same time when playing the game at 144fps.

You don't have to record at 30fps.
If you cap your fps at 60fps in game it will likely clear the issue right up for you. Can you upload a logfile after you have tried recording with your in-game fps capped at 60fps and your recording fps capped at 60fps via OBS Studio video settings.
