OBS recordings lag

[BobThatdoestheJob]

Tried everything, still is stuttering. Also, when exported on premiere pro, the clips lag badly in preview, unless rendered but even then it doesn't work well. The game (halo) runs smoothly when playing though, so no clue why is it acting this way, even though the only job is has to do is record what is on the screen.

Here are several suggestions may help you.
1. Update your computer drivers
2. Clean up your computer junk and cache files
3. Close other unwanted software when recording video with OBS
4. Watch your CPU usage
If none of the above methods work, you can try some other screen recording software to check if it is about your computer performance such as Bandicam, RecMaster, Camtasia, and so on.

Premiere works fine with other file types, even 4k ones. As for other capture applications, this hasn't been a problem.
