I have the same problem, this is my footage at the moment. Any Fixes?

Stop trying to stream CS:GO at 1080p30 and the fast preset, your system can't handle it. Downscale your stream resolution and put your preset back to veryfast.

@Ethan Freshwater Make a separate thread for your issue and include a log file.

running obs in 64 bits fixed the issue :)

The performance difference between 32-bit and 64-bit OBS should be negligible. Are you sure you didn't change anything else?

nope but ive seen in the logs that 32 bit one used only 4gb of ram while 64 one uses all 8

OBS doesn't use that much RAM, so that can't be it.

u made me to check it and yes both of you are right ive used veryfast preset but still using 64bit does difference for me i dont have weird 0.1s lags anymore when i play

Thanks for this post, I think that there is some merit to this 32bit vs 64bit issue.

I have been having issues with some micro-stutter, without explanation as when using veryfast CPU my utilization is around 30-40% and when using NVenc it is rarely using more than 50% of the encoding engine on my GPU, but still there was micro-stutter in every video I made. No matter the resolution, frame rate or encoding bitrate or options.

I loaded up the 64bit version of OBS, same settings that I used in the 32bit version and BAM! Micro-stutter is gone.

I am running Windows 8.1 and all the latest drivers for my GTX 780, motherboard etc.

Perhaps there are some rare cases when the 32bit version just isn't fully compatible, I don't know, but if I switch back to the 32bit version the issue is once again in my videos.

I would recommend people try this out if they are having some similar issues with micro-stutter in their recordings.
