Hi,
I setup my Elgato PCIe 4K60 Pro to my PS4 Pro today and tried to record a little bit of FIFA 20 with OBS Studio. Every single recording ended up choppy. I tried to change around in the settings a lot but nothing seemed to help the issue.
To determine whether the issue was with OBS, I also used Elgato's 4K Capture Utility. The preview windows was choppy (similar to OBS preview), but the end product was way smoother. There was a frame or so of chop but nothing comparable to OBS Studio
I have recorded a side by side comparison of a minute of gameplay to show what I mean: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=usR48VgQjrE , most noticable chop in OBS is around 28 seconds and 1 minute 14 seconds. Canvas size for both recordings is 3840x2160 and then scaled down to 1920x1080 60 FPS.
I don't think my PC is the issue. My GPU only needed to utilize 40% of its capacity whilist capturing from two different softwares simultaneously, and according to OBS I had 0 missed and skipped frames. Average time to render around 1 ms
Specs of my PC:
MB: ASUS ROG Strix X570-E Gaming
CPU: Ryzen 3700x
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER
RAM: G.Skill 32GB (2x16GB) DDR4 3600MHz CL16 (operating at 3600 after adjusting in bios)
The HDMI cable from my PS4 to the PCIe card is 5m , but it is a high end one and should manage 4K 60hz. Not sure if this matters?
I also tried to Stream on Twitch with OBS and chop occure there as well.

Some potential solutions I googled and tried:
- Disable Game Mode in Windows
- Run as administrator
- Disabled HDR on PS4 and turned off HDR on monitor connected to capture card
