Are you videos full of random freezes/choppiness by chance? If so I am have been having the same issue for a few weeks now and also made a post about the issue. I think it may have something to do with the last few Nvidia drivers thb. Fraps videos come out fine but are far more taxing on the system. With OBS i have zero frame drops but my videos are turning out all choppy. Sux

Hope for a update soon.

yea no matter what I do with some of my settings or even fps values it is just cannot seem to get a good recording for even a second or two, the game runs completely fine and everything and I am not using much more than maybe 20% or so of my cpu while playing

my laptop also runs NVidia and it did not seem to have as many problems, but I hadn't been recording for the past week or so, most games it was smooth, I did encounter a few that had slight choppiness

and also the games I am trying to play are quite taxing on CPU and GPU, not sure if this has anything to do with the rendering and what not of OBS

Still doesn't show a record attempt, and don't paste directly into the post, use pastebin and link please.

I'm pulling up my logs and these are what most of them are, although I took timestamps out of last one to fit it

also I tested some games that were of lesser quality and OBS recorded just fine, its when I try to run something big like the new Metal Gear or Total war games that OBS is not seeming to want to pick up my games, or it will pick up the game and that only, while still being very bad quality overall, would like suggestions to possibly fix this but I am probably just going to keep pulling up wrong logs as I don't have many more

somehow the problems has resolved itself, now my recordings are going through a lot better but I haven't done anything since I tried it last lol, this thread can be closed if you wish now, just need to fine tune settings now for best quality
