Question / Help OBS Studio : Q-sync h.264 vs AMD VCE

Hey there OBS community , just a quick question from a relatively inexperienced guy @ video recording and such stuff ..

Now , i tried using OBS , and it was mixed results , mostly ended up being choppy footage , audio and video out of sync , black screen capture etc ..

So i got OBS Studio , and most of the issues are gone .

Except one , which may not be an issue , just a problem on my end :

Now , i tried using the AMD VCE encoder , 50000 bitrate ( 50Mbit/s ) , 1920x1080 @ 60FPS .

The hardware i have : i5-4690k @ 4.2Ghz , R9 390 Nitro 8GB GDDR5 , 8 GB RAM .

I do not understand why i get the error of encoding overloaded , when encoding with the GPU , but when i use intel quick sync encoding , it is clear of issues ?

The reason im asking this is that the games im trying to record are hard on the CPU while they leave the GPU with alot of headroom which i could use to encode the footage .

IS there a way to fix this , or am i forced to use q-sync ?

The settings you're using to encode are taking over 40ms to encode a frame when using vce. In order to record at 60fps, frames need to have ALL their processing done in under 16ms.

Also for reference , recording Dota 2 works flawlessly , but for example Warframe it sends encoding overloaded almost instantly .
