Question / Help Choppy recordings

Hi there,

Using latest OBS as admin. Recordings are choppy even though there are no lost frames or rendering lag (you will see a five lost frames in the log, but it always happen in PUBG when you go from lobby to the plane). Been trying to look for solutions all day here and have no idea what to look for now. Using the latest Nvidia drivers that came last night. If these settings are bad or terrible, what settings should i use to record 1440p? I have tried CQP 15-20, with and without lookahead, b-frames between 1-4, different recording formats.

Game runs perfect, really smooth. Only recordings runs choppy (feels like 25fps but they are 60) and stats say the recordings are 60fps. Included are last log and an earlier log with more information.

I have tried recording it on the same pc and with scan converter to another pc with another 2080Ti and the results are the same there. I also use a separate SSD to record to.

9900k
2080Ti

Only your 2nd log has a recording session and it shows only a single rendering and encoding frame lagged. You'll need to post a new logfile with a recording session in the same conditions you know will drop frames consistently.

However, are you referring to frametime inconsistency instead, as in, video properties register no errors but it sort of "feels" like it's repeating or skipping frames?

Unrelated to your issue, you could change a few things though:

1) YUV Colour range to "Partial";
2) Turn on Windows 10 "Game Mode", since your OS is on an updated version where most issues related to it have been patched;
3) "NVENC (new)" Encoder, "Quality" preset B-frames: 2, "Lookahead" and "Psycho Visual Tuning" turned of. If it works, test with "Psycho Visual Tuning" turned on;
4) Stick to recording format .mkv or .flv and just remux it through "File--->Remux recordings" once done with each recording session, since any process that forces the .mp4 to stop recording without finishing properly will make the entire recording session unrecoverable.

If you want consistent frametimes, to avoid skipping or duplicate frames, you'll have set your ingame FPS cap to a multiple of 60.

I don't own a 2080ti so you'll have to check if you can keep consistent 120FPS, which is the value I'd aim for with that kind of computer hardware available.
