Alright, I'm a noob at OBS and I have been experiencing a problem. When recording videos in 4K, the game never actually lags but the actual video has lag spikes when being previewed.
An example of this would be this: https://youtu.be/a3ooZpOG7Og?t=145
At the beginning of the video there is no lag, and there is little-to-no lag when recording through most of the video, but at this part here you can clearly see lag. The thing is, I did not see the lag in the game. I have suspicions to why this is caused. I think the main reason is that since I am recording at 4K 60 FPS, OBS doesn't have enough time to write the actual data to the file in time before the next frame happens thus causing the lag. I can't say for sure that this is the reason, it's just a guess. Do you think there might be any other reason that is causing the lag? Here are my computer specs and OBS recording settings:
