I'm wondering if somebody can give me a push in the right direction. Log file of most recent recording attempt: https://obsproject.com/logs/IqkIN_UtmZHBueRo
Explanation:
I had a Radeon RX 480 and have recorded many videos with it using pretty basic recording settings. The quality was perfectly acceptable for the size of the files OBS would generate. My settings were as follows:
Format: MKV (because I would occasionally get game crashes and if it was MP4, I'd just lose everything)
Encoder: H264/AVC (AMD AMF)
Quality Preset: Balanced
Pre-pass: Disabled
Target Bitrate: 15000
Filler Data: Enabled (I think)
Keyframe Interval: 2
Anyway, I always hated that card, because it was stupidly loud and would cause a lot of games to crash and often my computer, as well. I finally replaced it with a Radeon RX 580, which has fairly similar specs (8GB, etc.) and really isn't that different except that it's quiet and actually works. The only thing is that without changing any settings in OBS, videos were extremely choppy. I don't know why. For the record, I did do a clean reinstall of the Radeon drivers and they weren't completely up-to-date previously.
I tried changing just about every setting it was possible to change, watched videos on best OBS recording settings and so forth, and never got a better result. In fact, almost nothing I did ever changed anything at all.
So what I'm doing now is just using Radeon ReLive, which records gameplay flawlessly, though admittedly, at double the sorts of file sizes I was used to (not a huge deal). Honestly, ReLive is probably fine for most things, but there are still features that I like about OBS, like the ability to capture specific game windows (sometimes ReLive just treats games, like Rimworld, as Desktop applications), ability to record in MKV, multiple audio tracks and not just separate mic track, and so forth. So I'd prefer to use OBS if possible, but obviously not if it's dropping 10% of frames.
Is there any way to just get the same quality from OBS that I get from ReLive (I don't care about file size), but actually benefit from the value-added features available through OBS? Can anybody surmise what's going wrong here?
