Question / Help COD Warzone - stuttering when recording with OBS

Hi. I have a problem with recording COD Warzone with OBS Studio. There is a lot of "stuttering" in the video, and even in OBS preview. I don't know what causes this and how to fix it. You can see my problem on this short video:

According to all of your logs, the resulting video is flawless. No lost or lagged frames.
Enable vsync within the game and set both your monitors to 60 Hz, as this is the fps you set in OBS. If the monitor and game fps isn't an integer multiple of the capture fps, stutter can appear.
 
My monitors are already set to 60Hz. I limited FPS in game to 60 and turned on vsync, but after that I think stuttering is even worse.
 
I assume there will be no difference if it comes to your stuttering, but if you only record and not stream, it's recommended to use CQP as rate control, no bitrate-orientated rate control. In your setup, in the recording tab of the output settings, change the encoder from "use stream encoder" to "nvenc (new)" and set CQP as rate control. As CQ value use a value around 18-20 (lower values mean higher quality).

This will result in the recommended recording setup, but as I said, I doubt it will fix your stutter issue. You did everything else correctly, as far as I see it. Perhaps you try display capture instead of game capture. This is not the recommended capture setup if game capture works and doesn't result in a black screen, but just try and see what will happen with your stutter.
 
Bilinear? Try Bicubic maybe.

Are you streaming or recording with 40mbps? If you're recording, then it's fine. If you're streaming, then maybe not.

I don't see any other problem, except for maybe Bilinear. I personally have tried Bilinear, and it's not the best.

Another tip is to use x264 fast or faster, as the i7 9700K is enough to push higher quality with x264. (This is much off topic but it's kind of a GPU bottleneck combining a i7 and a 1060, and I see this happen a lot.)
 
I can confirm this, changing all sorts of settings doesn't work. it seems to just weirdly put an older frame into a place where it doesn't belong, like maybe 2-5 frames later, which ruins the smoothness of the stream. Can't quite tell what's causing it, but frame by frame it's rather obvious
 
Put the process priority of OBS to high. I had the same problem. I’m not too smart, but I was having the same problem, then I saw that warzone was in high priority, so I tried switching obs to high priority. Then, it’s started working
 
Your using an i7-9700K. If you are overclocking, go back to default BIOS settings.
I am not doing any OC.

I put OBS process to high priority, but it didn't help. Then I put OBS to high and Warzone to normal, but stuttering is still visible.
 
Im having the same problem, i have tried everything!! i have put settings down to bare minimum... i have tried everything that other people have written also. i can record any game at highest of qaulitys - and stream most games... why is this one so different?? and how the heck are there people streaming this on twitch when we cant even get a decent recording of it
 
Having the same exact problem. Tried disabling nvidia overlay but no luck. The recording looks exactly same as in the video.
 
Same issue here as well, been having the problem for months, I have quite literally tried EVERYTHING, and no matter what, it still stutters. Even running Windows 2004 on the Slow ring with the NVIDIA preview 450.12 driver and enabled hardware GPU Acceleration, still no luck.
 
I turned of psycho visual tuning and changed b frames to 0 for auto and the recording looks like that jitter is fixed. Can someone confirm this with their recording as well.

Nope, still stuttering and jittering, I had tried this earlier as well, but wanted to try again just for sanity's sake.
