Ive now used the whole day trying everything to get OBS to record gameplay, not stream, just record. But the recording just keeps stuttering everytime i start playing a game (in my case overwatch, with low graphics)

Ive had no problems with my pc laging or anything its just the recording. I also have had no problems using the xbox gamebar, but i'd prefere using OBS.

It guessing that my CPU is overclocking since it goes to 100% everytime i game and record, but after seaching on my CPU, i saw numerous people who had no problems with it and that they even would recomend it.

I just whant to make sure that im not making some dumb mistake, before i go out buy a new cpu. (To be fair, my cpu is like 4 years old but still.)

I'm not a gamer, but most of those who do offer help will most likely want you to have posted a log as noted in the 2nd sticky of the support forum Please post a log with your issue! Here's how...
Ex. Known issues with Win10 prior to v2004 with differing refresh rate monitors
And - have you done GPU monitoring, and know that you are ok for both gaming and recording?
Also, those are slower SSDs, so are you watching Disk I/O to make sure write speed bottlenecks aren't happening?

and see you have a 144 hz display

output 0: pos={0, 0}, size={1920, 1080}, attached=true, refresh=144, name=VG248

set the refresh rate of the display to 120 its a multiple of 30 /60
Ive done all of your points but i still have the same exact problem, my recording keeps lagging and the quality is also kinda scuffed. Any other suggestions?

Im not completely sure what you mean with GPU monitoring and Disk I/O. I love to tjek on it tho

in Taskmanager there you can see how much load ist on the GPU and of your Harddisk.

please make a short stream and send a new Log ?
Alright so apperently it was only the windows film player that was lagging. Every time i was playing a video while having obs open it would make the video stutter and play in a slowmo kinda way. Idk why but closing fixed the problem. Thanks anyways for all the help really apreciate it.

As noted above, look into Windows Task Manager (and associated Resource Monitor for even more details)
In that case (fil player), you may want to monitor hardware resources (Task Mgr) when using Windows Film Player and see if large spike, especially CPU. It may be that your video is encoded in a manner that Film Player struggles with, but another player (OBS native player, VLC, etc) may not have a problem with... worth checking into to
