I really want to make good, high quality videos, and i'm afraid I might have to turn my settings down. I just got an upgrade recently (a huge one) and I feel like there is no reason it shouldn't work. I'm getting close to giving up. The game itself runs fine, its just the recording output is horrible. Here is the latest OBS Studio Log (From today):

I don't really have a D drive, could you use OneDrive? Isn't it supposed to save on the cloud and not your computer?
EDIT: Turns out I do have a D drive, its just a disk drive though. Its a "DVD RW Drive." What do I do now?

But I have a question. How would I connect the GTX card to the monitor? I don't quite know how to do that.
EDIT: Ok, so I figured that out. Just need a DVI-VGA adapter.

Thanks so much, this is exactly what I needed. My games have also been running badly. Now getting 60+ FPS on highest settings in the Elder Scrolls Online. Now I can finally record! Thanks! I'll send a log soon.
