Need Help With Best Streams Settings

- Currently I'm getting quite invested into Valorant (Riot Games). Getting invested has taken up quite a bit of my time....Whether I'm aim training or watching videos just trying to get MORE educated for..obviously..being the best. The problem I run into here is I Valorant does not have a replay system, so you can't watch your previous games. Trying to watch my previous games by recording them, and if I'm going to do that I thought "Why not stream instead?". Now I've ended up HERE

- When I try to record my frames drop obviously, and along with that the recording freezing every 2 - 5 seconds or it just looks like I'm getting no frames. I tried turning the bitrate up, lowering my resolutions, and even lowering the framerate that Valorant is being recorded in. Still no solution...I also used the auto configuration wizard, and that was no help at all.

- All I'm asking for is to be able to record/stream in 60 FPS, at 720p(480p at least), and also be able to play Valorant with a MINIMUM of 180-200 FPS. I run Valorant in 1152x864 4:3 (stretched), and all of my graphics are as low as can be. If not doable then that's fine, but if so that'd be great. I will make whatever changes necessary for my PC

That is an older, lower-end CPU, and you are trying to do 60fps real-time video encoding?? while pushing system to limits gaming?
All you want??? too funny....
old adage of good, fast, and cheap - pick 2 . you want really high performance, simple - upgrade hardware
or get more realistic in your expectations... something has to give

Also, your log shows audio devices at 2 different sampling rates. best to fix that
make sure you are using NVENC for video encoding GPU offload

local recording means disk I/O, but not network traffic of streaming.
Really high recording rates, etc are largely meaningless, I'd think, with lower bitrates. So if quality of recording is important to you, then record but don't stream, and increase bitrate.. first making sure you have Disk I/O capacity

Is your CPU pegged at 90%+ the whole time you are gaming? most computers start to get unstable when that happens, especially with low quality code that is common in consumer software, and especially games
- So make sure your OS is configured to not run unnecessary background processes.
- make sure you are maxing out RAM, causing pagefile/disk swapping... so beware RAM inefficient s/w like Chrome (or configure accordingly)

Thank you! Just needed a simple answer. yes or no. I figured it was no, but wanted to make sure there wasn't something I could do. A lot of this will help for fixing frame rate problems recording or not. (at least)

Thanks!
