Question / Help Game runs fine but video always turns out Choppy and without sound?

[RedZeroInferno]

Not sure if it's because of My antivirus, I was told that was the problem last time but last time the game was framey as well, When recording the game seems to run fine but the video ends up looking super choppy, No game sound, and Poor quality (possibly due to settings). I use Kaspersky internet security and antivirus, Hadn't had any problems until recently.

Heres my log file for the last attempt at recording: https://gist.github.com/5ccd836fe839e2d5a335c7d88340a732


Any help is appreciated.

Log doesn't show a recording attempt.

Strange.. I did record, I would upload a video of another attempt but I tried that last time and it wouldn't let me upload the video to the thread, Don't know why, Either way, Point is whenever I record the video ends up laggy and choppy as balls but the game itself seems to run totally fine during recording.

And we need the log with the actual recording attempt to be able to troubleshoot.

Here, I attmpted another recording, and this is the "last log file": https://gist.github.com/f33159d3f21df5f2fd16a9fd987cdaa1

And heres the "Current log file": https://gist.github.com/753557ee62ff598280837f8e0a413217

As I said this was right after a recording, if it doesn't show a recording attempt then I don't know what to tell you.

Change your encoder to software low cpu use.

I'll give that a shot, thanks for the suggestion.

Same result sadly, though now even the game itself is lagging as well, not sure if that's connected or not but the recording isn't just choppy it's just freezing randomly now.

Here's the log fine for that recording attempt: https://gist.github.com/fa5c5fd119fb9c55fa0534a96c65c334

As well as the current one here: https://gist.github.com/c96c4b15aa445e48a6e8154ca6b8d224

Looks like your video card can't quite keep up.

That's really strange because when I use regular OBS instead of studio everything works fine, plus this graphics card is very up to date so I'm not sure why it's having troubles, I'll go through my Nvidia stuff and see if I can force an update to hopefully fix the problem but I'm unsure as to why this is this way.

I don't yet know how to interpret the profiler results for OBS Studio. Are you sure it's the video card and not the CPU? I can play/capture Overwatch (on max settings even) on a GTX 760, but I use NVENC instead of x264 because the CPU (an i5-3570K in my case) cannot handle both x264 and Overwatch, because Overwatch eats CPU. Their CPU (AMD FX-4130) seems to rate weaker, so I wouldn't be surprised if it was a CPU issue here.

A GTX 760 is not "very up to date" - it was released over 3 years ago, and is two architecture generations behind the current generation. Try using NVENC for recording instead. Check this guide for settings to use. Don't record directly to MP4 - use FLV for single-track audio, or MKV or multi-track audio.

God fucking dammit switching to NVENC seems to have fixed the entire problem and I'm slightly annoyed that I didn't do it sooner.

Thanks for the help you guys Seriously I appreciate it.

Glad switching to NVENC helped and that things are working better for you now!
