Hello, basically I have this issue with several games. I want to point out that I actually don't stream at all and record quite rarely. I use OBS as an nvidia shadowplay substitute because I had issues with shadowplay. Basically, I have it set up, so when I turn on my computer, OBS automatically launches with Replay Buffer enabled. Then I don't have to deal with switching scenes for different games or just screen capture, because I use display capture to clip anything on my monitor literally, so it works like shadowplay.
With some games, it's completely fine. Examples are Minecraft, Phasmophobia, League of Legends, Sea of Thieves, Metro: Exodus, GTA V, Gang Beasts, R6
But clips/recordings from other games are usually completely unusable due to how laggy they are: War Thunder, Ghost Recon's Wildlands, can't remember any other examples but those two games I remember lagging quite vividly. Sometimes also GTA V and R6 but those two were situational.
My specs:
PSU: Corsair CX650M
OS: Windows 10 64-bit
Motherboard: MSI B450 Tomahawk MAX
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 2600X
GPU: Gainward GeForce GTX 1060, 6GB
RAM: 32GB (4x8 3200MHz) (but actually running at 2400MHz right now)
However, usually when this happened in the past. OBS would spit out this message at the left bottom that the CPU usage was too high, or some encoding shit was causing it to lag, however, none of that appears when it starts to lag. During playing neither CPU nor RAM goes above 70% usage and the game itself isn't lagging at all. None of the components are overheating either, at least according to HWMonitor. During gaming, CPU sits at around 70C which is not ideal I guess, but I don't think that's some massive overheating while GPU is usually around 60C-65C
I'd like to keep my current quality settings if possible, but maybe there are some 'optimized' settings that I'm not using. the only thing I care about is recording/clipping at 60 fps and at 1080p. I'm not sure if you need to see some specific tabs from my settings, but if you do, I'll gladly send you more screenshots.
I'll send a log that I made when playing 1 game of War Thunder and clipping it. The only thing that had noticeably very high usage in the Task Manager was the GPU at constant 95%+ usage. CPU and RAM were both actually under 60% for 90% of the game.
Thanks in advance for any help!
