I recently got an AMD GPU, the first one I've ever had; I had only bought Nvidia up to this point, but I took a chance on a 5700 XT, and I absolutely love it.
I know that recording gameplay doesn't work as well with AMD cards as it does with Nvidia cards, but I'd been messing with the settings in OBS Studio, and I started getting pretty stellar results at 1080p, 60fps when I left the recording settings on Simple, set it to save the file as .flv, and set the quality to Indistinguishable; I generally set my games to 1440p, and I have OBS record in 1080p. Everything looks great most of the time, but there are a few games -- specifically Control from Remedy -- that cause the notification to pop up saying that OBS overloaded, and the recorded video looks horrible. I play the game at 1080p with an internal resolution of 1440p, and when I change that internal resolution to 1080p, that fixes the recording problems, so it's clearly that OBS can't handle recording at that resolution on my system. The thing that confuses me is that when I record with the Radeon software that comes with the AMD GPU drivers, I can set that to 1440p, 60fps, and it records perfectly fine, and in quite good quality. I'm sure the program is doing some kind of fancy upscaling, or something, but it usually records fine, and it never gives me any major issues outside of the occasional framerate hiccup in the final .mp4 video.
I understand that an easy solution here would just be to record with the Radeon software, but I like OBS a lot more: I can choose a file type other than .mp4, the DVR functionality works much better than the one built into the Radeon software, and there are just way more options in OBS. I'd also like to keep the game settings at 1440p, since the picture looks much clearer and more detailed that way. Is there a way I can make that overloading stop, or is it just what it is as far as my hardware goes? (I've tried using my CPU to record, but I think that causes the overloading notification more than the GPU does.) Thanks in advance; I'm pretty new to this kind of thing when it comes to AMD hardware, so any advice would be greatly appreciated. Also, for the record, I'm just looking to improve local recording, I'm not setting anything up for streaming.
