Bug Report OBS stutters when I click record while recording footage...

I am just getting started with OBS, so my apologies if I'm making simple mistakes! I am running a brand new system, i7 6700K, Geforce 1070, and 16GB of RAM. When the stuttering is occuring the CPU usage is around 20% so I can't see that being the problem.

I'm currently just at the trial and error stage of learning how to make videos and stream, and unfortunately running into a lot of error! :( Another problem I am having is that it won't let me "game capture" so I have to "display capture" instead. It may be the specific title I'm experimenting with (Banished) that is giving me the problem.

Anyway, any help is greatly appreciated!

Cheers.

Why aren't you using the simple mode presets? Advanced mode generally indicates that you have an idea of what you're doing. Those settings are kinda not great.

Use the recording quality presets under Settings > Output when in Simple output mode. In the recording section, change the Recording Quality to Indistinguishable Quality, and then select your encoder (NVENC).

run obs as admin, record until it stutters, stop recording, close OBS, reopen again as admin, and upload LAST log not current log.

I guess I am using the Advanced mode because I was going off suggestions I got from YouTube videos. If my settings are kinda not great, then what should I change? What is wrong with them? I'd like to learn...

I forgot to point out in my original post that the video quality comes out perfectly fine when I play it, it's only the display of OBS that is stuttering...

What do you mean by run as "admin"?

right click on OBS icon and choose run as administrator

Ok, so I just closed OBS and opened it back up running as admin, and it is no longer doing the stutter thing when I'm recording...did running in admin fix my problem? what is running in admin for exactly?
