Question / Help OBS recording is choppy

[MurlocNerd]

I have already checked some of the other forum post with the same problem. When I play the game the game play isn't choppy or poor quality at all, and i have it set to 30 fps and only wants to record in 11 or 18 fps. I really need that to go up. It doesn't seem to work for me even when everything on my computer is turned down. Here are my computer specs:

And connected is my last log of the game. Could anyone try and help me plz? Thanks in advance!
P.S. - Thanks again to user Harold for helping me last time, sadly it didn't do any better :(

This CPU is pretty weak, but I'm still surprised that your performance is this bad.

First, if your monitor is running at 60fps, set your recording framerate to 20fps or 30fps, not 25fps. I know PAL video runs at 25 or 50fps, but usually computer monitors run at 60, not 50, so try to reduce this with fraction with a 1 in the numerator. At least until you get a good baseline result, then experiment with whatever you want.

Once you've made that change, follow the guide here: https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/how-to-make-high-quality-local-recordings.12600

Thanks! I have my recording set to cap at 30 now... how do i change my game to only play in 30 fps?

You don't, you game at 60 and OBS only uses every other frame. But the real question is, is OBS working any better like this?

It is working a bit better. I am now getting 15-20 frames which is good. So to get better recording I need a better CPU or a better graphics card?

Yes.
