Hello. (PC specs: Intel i7 9750H, GTX 1650, 16 GB ram). When I'm recording, OBS reduce fps in games (while i have 600fps, obs reduce this to 160-200 fps with any settings in games). OBS using CPU at 2-5% (The total cpu usage is 10-20%)
Anyone that could help me with the problem, thank you.
 
 
1. Using Windows Update, update Windows 10 to the newest available version per https://obsproject.com/blog/five-simple-tips-for-new-streamers
2. Update OBS from https://obsproject.com/download
3. Your computer has two GPUs. OBS is running on the weak integrated Intel GPU. For better performance as well as game capture being available you should run OBS on the dedicated GPU. Check the Laptop Troubleshooting Guide.
4. Change your OBS FPS to 60.
5. Build your scene with Game/Window/Video Device Capture. Do not use Monitor Capture.
6. Record to MKV or FLV. If you record to MP4 or MOV and the recording is interrupted, the file will be corrupted and unrecoverable.

If you require MP4 files for some other purpose like editing, remux them afterwards by selecting File > Remux Recordings in the main OBS Studio window or enable Auto Remux in the Advanced Settings.
