Choppy/Laggy videos

[fishgood]

Sorry, I know this is a very frequent thing posted about but I've had this problem for a long time across 3 different computers and I've tried reading tons of solutions across several different posts but I could never manage to fix it, as the title suggests I've had very choppy and laggy videos and I've messed around with the settings for a long time and I can't figure it out.

Here is the log file: https://obsproject.com/logs/PxdSFDuBBibhKIN8

Sorry if this might be obvious I'm just not very familiar with this sort of thing, and I'm not sure if this is important but I have a around medium-end pc. Thank you!

Something I forgot to mention is I'm using OBS to record gameplay, the log file was from modded terraria.

Your GPU is maxed out and OBS can't render and encode scenes fast enough. Running a game without vertical sync or a frame rate limiter will frequently cause performance issues with OBS because your GPU will be maxed out. OBS requires a little GPU to render your scene.

Enable Vsync or set a reasonable frame rate limit that your GPU can handle without hitting 100% usage.

If that's not enough you may also need to turn down some of the video quality options in the game. If you are experiencing issues in general while using OBS, your GPU may be overloaded for the settings you are trying to use.

Please check our guide for ideas why this may be happening, and steps you can take to correct it: GPU Overload Issues.

I would start with changing your output FPS to 30.
