Tried at a lower output resolution?

wow that actually worked lo. why is it i cant record at 1080p? can my gpu not handle it?

 

[Harold]

It's not that you can't record at 1080p, it's that you're trying to record LARGER than 1080p.

It's not that you can't record at 1080p, it's that you're trying to record LARGER than 1080p.

oh okay. what setting would you recommend in order to be able to record 1080p?

 

[Harold]

Don't use the AMD encoder.

@Xaymar - can u help him?
@MarcoC1996

1080p = 1920x1080 -> and you should leave that aspect ratio as it is -> 16:9 is standard
720p = 1280x720 -> should be used for streaming

and there is no reason to use different aspect then 16:9 -> will result in black bars for all your viewers
