Question / Help Can't get a good quality 60fps recording setup

[LiquidAurum]

I have a gtx 1080 7700k with a 1440p 144hz monitor. I am ok with recording at 1080p60fps, but for the life of me can't get a good setup that will record good smooth gameplay. I don't mind larger file sizes (although prefer smaller obviously where I can), but everytime I try and record it comes out very stuttery.

Post your OBS log from the attempt.

Here are the last 4 attempts I had tried experimenting with

 

[Harold]

Settings - output
Simple output mode
Indistinguishable recording quality
FLV format
Software low cpu use or one of the hardware encoders

I wanted to have 2 audio tracks, so should I just keep it at mp4? Also is there any way to go into advanced mode and make it to where the file sizes aren't that big?

so should I just keep it at mp4?

No. There are precisely ZERO situations where you should save directly to mp4.
If you need multi-track audio, use MKV container format, CRF/CQP based bitrate selection (depending on your encoder) with a CRF/CQP value of 14.
