Question / Help Record Settings Help

[Kiefer Fitch]

Hi guys, I was having some major cpu issues when I go to record with OBS MP. The cpu usage goes up to 60-70% when I just record a small game. Here are my Specs and what my current video settings are. Any suggestions on getting the cpu down without much loss, if possible, would be greatly appreciated :D

MSI MS-7641
AMD FX-4300 Quad-Core Processor ~3.8GHz
AMD Radeon R9 270x
8GB of RAM
Windows 10 64-bit, DirectX 12

Current OBS MP settings

New to this forum, didn't see the log rule. here is a log of a recording I did with these settings

That CPU isn't really powerful enough to record with x264 at 1080p60. Try downscaling to 720p and reducing the frame rate to 30fps.
