Question / Help FPS drop when recording/streaming.

[iziik_tv]

Hello all.

I've been trying to record and stream my Valorant gameplay, but I always drop at least 20-30 frames in-game when I do this. It makes it really hard to play. I attached a log for reference. My specs are:
Operating System: Windows 10 Home 64-bit
System Manufacturer: MSI
System Model: MS-7816
BIOS: BIOS Date: 04/10/15 10:16:37 Ver: V12.8B0 (type: BIOS)
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4790K CPU @ 4.00GHz (8 CPUs), ~4.0GHz
Memory: 16384MB RAM
Graphics card: AMD Radeon (TM) R9 390 Series

Thanks for any solutions and suggestions.

Might be time to update, you're still running v24.0.1. If you want to stick with v24, at least update to 24.0.3. I used it until I updated to 25.0.8 last week & it was always rock solid.

Anyway, the refresh rate for your monitor is missing from the log.
16:12:41.321: output 0: pos={0, 0}, size={1920, 1080}, attached=true

Make sure it is set to 60fps, the same rate you're recording at. The dropped frames are from rendering lag.

16:52:59.063: Output 'simple_file_output': Total frames output: 98746
16:52:59.063: Output 'simple_file_output': Total drawn frames: 98738 (98757 attempted)
16:52:59.063: Output 'simple_file_output': Number of lagged frames due to rendering lag/stalls: 19 (0.0%)

Clean up your game captures too, more than (1) per scene can cause problems:

16:12:43.449: - source: 'Game Capture 2' (game_capture)
16:12:43.449: - source: 'Game Capture 3' (game_capture)
16:12:43.449: - source: 'Game Capture 4' (game_capture)
