Question / Help Laggy Recordings on Some Games?

[D0M]

I use OBS Studio for my local recordings. I record both gameplay and facecam, so I run two OBS Studio instances at the same time. When I play most games I can record both at 1080p 60 fps with no issue, however on some games (indie and the like) I will get serious frame drops not in the game but only on the recording. I don't know how to fix it, but I'm inclined to think that it's something in my settings because I will get frame drop while the CPU usage is only between 4 & 5 percent. Has anyone else experienced this and/or know a fix to it?

If you wonder about specs I have a GTX 980, 16 gb of ram & a 5820k.

I also used this article for my local recording settings. https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/obs-classic-how-to-make-high-quality-local-recordings.16/

Thanks in advance!

Why did you use a guide for classic to configure studio?

Yes, as no guide for studio exists that I can find. The settings are generally the same I have found through both programs.

You're bad at looking then.

Or just use simple output mode, indistinguishable recording quality and software low cpu use encoder.

Same result regardless.

Post an obs log from the attempt.
