OBS not wanting to make my video 144 fps, it makes the video 60 fps instead, on both preview AND video

this is what it looks like before i record

i move the window and my mouse, and the preview makes it seem like a footage thats 60 fps, rather than 144 fps. the preview is not smooth at all compared to what i used to clip a while ago. YET at the bottom right, it says its recording at 144 fps, so i dont even understand why this is going on

OBS isn't causing your issue, your laptop or settings are. I'm kinda thinking there may be some thrashing going on. System only has 16GB of RAM & you're writing to your OS drive. If that drive is getting full/near full, performance will slowly degrade.

i tried recording at very low settings and the issue is still there

is it maybe because i keep my laptop on its A-game and not giving it rest?
 
my RAM currently is 46% so even if i have nothing on besides obs, shouldnt it at least show 144 fps while having nothing on besides the recorder?
 
i sadly dont have a 120z option for my monitor, i looked in both nvidia control panel and the windows settings.. the only other option i have is 60hz

also which drive? the C:?

Hopefully things runs smooth @ 60, if not easier to troubleshoot. Once 60 is stable, we can try to figure out why the high refresh rates aren't doing so good
 
I'm going to need a complete log.

Make system updates with OBS closed.

Make updates to OBS & then close it.

Re-open & run your test. When finished close/re-open OBS & post the previous log.
 
I have a 3090, can't test AV1. Wondering what's up with the Keyframe setting? 288? I get it's the frames but H264 & H265 show the setting in seconds. Avidemux gives the frame type info. Throw one of your recordings in it & see if the I Frames are actually 2 seconds apart.

Okay so I did everything you requested for.


1) The storage has more than 25% of free space.

2) I recorded and tested the new video, it looks like an ordinary 60 fps video since it is set to 60 fps so that means its stable.
Log file: https://obsproject.com/logs/0XByVFrfOQOXPDRd

3) I downloaded the program you were talking about, and the frame type came up to me as I-Frame. I do not really know the program and those techy stuff so check out the photo I attached that shows what popped up for me when I inserted that 60 fps video that you recently requested.

Look at where the pointer is in Avidemux, it's not at the beginning of the file. If that's the first available I frame, the recording is bad.

Try recording using H265, encoding settings are the same. You can 0 B Frames & uncheck visual tuning. B Frames are the lowest quality frame type.

For comparison. I cut/remuxed a file to 1:17:xx. The pointer is located on the 2nd I-frame in the recording (2 seconds).

Touch of rendering lag. How does the recording look now, any improvement?

Drop your monitor/OBS to 120 for the next test & set the Keyframe interval to 1 second.
