Hi
I'd appreciate a hand with a challenge I'm facing. I've read several threads on similar topics but have been unable to fix this issue myself.
Log file here: https://obsproject.com/logs/wJJWiinkUb63m6m1
When I run x264 encoding my video records ok. x264 encoding:
utput 'simple_file_output': Number of lagged frames due to rendering lag/stalls: 24 (0.2%)
However, I understand Hardware encoding will take pressure off my CPU when gaming (Apex Legends) so ideally I'd like to run Hardware encoding. When I run Hardware (AMD) encoding with the same settings as the x264 encoding my videos skip frames and lag. This is a new pc with an AMD RX 580 graphics card which I'd hope should be good enough to do 1080 60fps at a quality watchable on YouTube.
GPU encoding:
Video stopped, number of skipped frames due to encoding lag: 2617/2863 (91.4%)
Video stopped, number of skipped frames due to encoding lag: 2219/3046 (72.8%)
Changes made so far to optimise recording:
Appreciate your help,
CC

Changes made so far to optimise recording:
- Updated both CPU and GPU drivers to the latest
- Updated Windows 10 to the latest version
- Run OBS as administrator
- Reduced fps in Apex Legends to 60
- Reduced many graphics settings to low/medium to reduce the load on CPU/GPU
- OBS Process Priority above normal
- Stopped Windows game mode
- Stopped Windows DVR
- Saving to my SSD (which runs Apex too but even so seems to be quicker than my HDD)
- I did change settings across Output, Audio and Visuals according to a couple of YouTube videos too but have reduced the Output to simple, mp4 and high quality in case I made an error
Appreciate your help,
