I literally cant record and it makes no sense

[80hz]

I have an RX 5600xt, Ryzen 5 5600X, and 16GB of ram and I can't even record a Minecraft video in 480p without the video lagging this has been going on for a year now and I've finally wanted to make gaming videos again but I don't know enough about obs to figure it out can anyone help.

Not sure why the custom video settings, but these aren't helping matters

19:18:22.135: video settings reset:​

19:18:22.135: YUV mode: 709/Full​

I'd recommend starting by switching back to Partial. And whatever source you found that suggested using Full - don't use them again ;^)
I suspect that is the most likely cause of rendering lag

Hopefully you understand why not to livestream over WiFi

then looks like some stuff either not turned on, or settings in need of clean up? missing source

not sure what the above means [sorry not my area and you can look it up as easily as I, so I'll let you]

CBR used for streaming encoder settings, but is NOT recommended for Recording. my captured notes on recording settings
https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/best-settings.140188/#post-514693 @FerretBomb comment #2

1) NEVER RECORD TO MP4 DIRECTLY, FOR ANY REASON. It is not a recording-safe format; if anything goes wrong during the recording, even for a split second, the ENTIRE recording will be corrupted and absolutely not recoverable by any means. Record to MKV, and remux to MP4 after the recording is complete from OBS' File menu, Remux Recordings.​

2) Record using CQP or CRF, not CBR. CBR is only used for streaming, where the back-end infrastructure requires it. CQP/CRF are quality-target based encodes, and will use as much or as little bitrate as is needed to maintain a constant image quality. No wasting bitrate on simple/slow scenes, no choking on fast-moving or complex scenes. 22 is a good starting point. 16 will result in much larger files, but near-perfect video. 12 should only be used if you plan to edit and re-encode later, and will be VERY large. Anything lower than 12 shouldn't be used unless you know exactly why you need it, and what problems it can cause.​

3) Use the Quality preset, not Max Quality. Likewise, turn off Psychovisual Tuning. Both of these options use CUDA cores, and tend to cause significant problems like encoding overload when it should otherwise not be happening.​

Don't record with CBR or VBR, use CQP instead.
CQP is a quality-based encoding target that uses as much or as little bitrate as is needed to maintain a given image quality level.
22 is the normal 'good' point, 16 for 'visually lossless', and 12 is generally the lowest you'll want to go even if you plan to edit the video later (to cut down on re-encoding artifacts). The lower the number, the closer to 'lossless' video it gets. But below 16 the filesizes get ridiculously large very fast.

For easy setting, use simple output mode instead of advanced and choose "High Quality, Medium File Size" as quality. Or if you insist on advanced output mode, increase the cq value to get smaller files. Increasing the cq value by 3-4, you're halving the file size.

…. recording, use a quality based rate control like CQP (if you use nvenc on a Nvidia GPU) or CRF (if you use x264) or ICQ (if you use Quicksync on a Intel iGPU). CBR/VBR is for streaming only.

ok so i removed full and it helped my frame a little
I don't understand what u mean about not streaming on wifi, what am I supposed to use
I did the mkv remix

 

[80hz]

Im also still losing frames and now its affecting my game frames to

Heres the new log

 

[Lawrence_SoCal]

That log shows you attempting to use AV1 encoder settings? of course that will struggle

And hopefully you were only kidding, pulling my leg, trolling with the WiFi comment. But at this point, your issues are your resolution, frame rate, and primarily encoding settings [all local, not LAN related].

The problem, if you haven't researched it, is that AMD sucks when it comes to support of open-source (which is what OBS is) video encoders. Video editing companies and Apple have written their own encoders to work with AMD GPU hardware. So your option is to use a CPU based encoder (and risk CPU contention), or get a plug-in that makes better use of the AMD GPU hardware (not as good from what others report as NVENC, but may meet your needs), or use the default OBS recommended setting for your GPU. As I don't have /deal with AMD GPU, you'll need to research GPU encode offload recommended settings/approach for your specific GPU

Try using your AMD GPU encoder, change the encoder to,

H264/AVC Encoder (AMD Advanced Media Framework)
