Hi everyone.
I have been testing 4k capture over the last few days and normally use RECentral with no issues. I wanted to try OBS for a hopeful step up in quality and believe that my settings are okay for my system but for some reason I will get random stutters every now and again on viewing the recording. At first I believed I had solved it by changing the FPS from 60 to the source FPS which reads as 59.94. Even with the change I do still get the odd stutter despite when I check the stats panel I don't have any missed or skipped frames and my CPU is around the 3% mark. My GPU gets up to around 70-80%. Its very odd as I can record one clip and get stutter in a few spots and then literally record the same clip a second time and have smooth gameplay.
I have attached a log if anyone can possibly advise me on what I am no doubt doing incorrectly. Any assistance would be very much appreciated.
