Hello,
I am new to OBS and I have not used it before so I downloaded it today to try and record a bit of gameplay with it. When I record, my game doesn't lag and FPS stays above 70 but when I see the recordings, the video quality was alright me but it was very laggy and choppy. I have no idea what to do.
My PC specs:
Processor - Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-9400F CPU @ 2.90GHz
GPU - Nvidia GeForce GT 710
Installed RAM - 16GB
System type - 64 bit

Not sure if this is important but when I first configured OBS I clicked the 'either 60 or 30 but prefer 60 when possible' and '1920 x 1080' and 'optimize only for recording, I don't stream'. I also used Game Capture to record.
