Question / Help Frames drop on recording

[MVPernula]

144 fps FullHD for capturing can't be serious.

At least, you can try to enable Limit capture framerate option in 'Game Capture' - this reduces twice the attempts to capture frames in current build of the OBS Studio (don't use Display and Window capture because they both lack this function).

Don't get me wrong, I'm gaming at 144Hz, but I simply want to record at 60FPS which happens to be my CAP in OBS.

Try to limit game at 60 too. 144 fps is very huge transfer for capturing each frame at 1/144 sec intervals even for modern PC (you need to render 144 frames then capture it and only then select 60 of them). If you still prefer 144/60 then try at least reduce capturing intervals of the Studio by the mentioned option.

Anyway, some frames should be skiped. 144/60=2.4=12/5 - not regular pattern.

for example:
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA...
BSBSSBSSBSSBBSBSSBSSBSSBBSBSSBSSBSSBBSBSSBSSBSSB...

A - source frames 144 fps
B - recording frames 60 fps
S - skiped frames

Spoiler: in OBS Studio is more like this, but...

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA...
BSBSSBSSBSBSSBSBSSBSBSSBSBSBSSBSBSSBSBSBSSBSBSSB...

...still not regular, because intervals not integer.

120/60=2=2/1 is better,
AAAAAAAA...
BSBSBSBS...

Okay I see.

But in that case it seems odd that it will sometimes work flawlessly and sometimes not?

As for the previous option; it made no difference.

All time I run OBS Studio it capture frames in the same way...

Try to capture something that renders itself at 60 fps (enable in game fps limiter). Or just enjoy gaming - don't record or stream it. You can record/stream webcam with OBS Studio too (most webcams can do up to 30 fps).

Feels really sad to game at capped 60fps when 200+ is avaliable.. And I built this PC to be able to record.
