Question / Help FPS drops in recording. Please help!

[MurlocNerd]

Hi! I'm Jacob and I just started recording youtube video's using obs. The problem is I cannot seem to get my FPS on the recording side up. The FPS in game is fine and I see everything clearly, but the FPS when I record is just awful. Is it my computer? Or do I have a setting wrong? here are my specs on the computer:

Radeon Software Version - 15.11

Radeon Software Edition - Crimson

Graphics Chipset - AMD Radeon R7 200 Series

Memory Size - 2048 MB

Memory Type - HyperMemory

Core Clock - 600 MHz

Windows Version - Windows 10

System Memory - 8 GB

CPU Type - AMD FX(tm)-4300 Quad-Core Processor

Here are my OBS settings:

If you need more from me let me know. I have no idea what is wrong and could really use some help. Is it my computer? Is it my OBS settings?
So just to sum it up again, when I record the gameplay I see when I play is smooth. However when I look at my obs recording screen it's always around 11-20 FPS and the gameplay looks very laggy. Can anyone help me figure out why and fix the problem? Thanks in advance!

Is this what you need? Or do you need an earlier one? This is my most recent.

Ok, that is what I did. Thank you for your time and patience Harold. I turned it off and the kbps is up by a lot but the FPS is still sitting around the same area of 11 usually. Anything else you can think of or that I need to do from my end?

Do you want me to post the new logs since I turned it off?

 

[Harold]

Yes please, those would be helpful.

 

[MurlocNerd]

Yes please, those would be helpful.

Here you go. This should be the log without the Xbox program running. If i sent the wrong thing, let me know.

It's looking like the connection for the video card is where the problem is.

Could you get a screenshot of the main window of this?

Most video cards are supposed to run at PCI-E x16 not x8.
You may have stuff plugged in wrong inside your machine.

 

[MurlocNerd]

Could you point out a video on how to fix that please? If not its fine, thanks to you I know what the problem is!

 

[Harold]

it involves moving cards around. If you didn't build the computer yourself, you should probably get someone else to move the card for you.

 

[MurlocNerd]

Ok, and I will know it is fixed when that thing says x16? And then my recording should be good?
