If you have Vsync disabled and frames completely uncapped is it normal for OBS recordings to be choppy? If I enable vsync recordings are perfectly smooth, but when I disable vsync while the gameplay remains smooth the recordings look really choppy, as if they're playing at ~15fps half of the time.
I understand disabling vsync will use significantly more GPU % and I assume that's why this happens, but is there a way to give OBS higher priority over the game and keep the recordings smooth (without enabling vsync or capping the framerate to a specific value)? If not, are there any other settings I can change to at least minimise the choppyness?
Here's a log file (Bioshock, but it happens in all games I've tried): https://gist.github.com/anonymous/0a28750b0bac4336252a - OBS doesn't actually report any problems while it's recording.
This seems to be purely a GPU issue because the CPU doesn't even go above 50% in most games. My CPU is a 4970k, GPU is 760 GTX. It happens on every preset/bitrate/fps.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
