I have been trying to record for youtube. and been doing a lot of r6 captures and csgo and many other games. I have a stuttering issue that keeps popping up when i preview the video after i record, I have tried almost everything that i have found online and nothing seems to be helping my problem. Please help. I run a I7 9700k 5hz all core z390 Prime MB 64GB gskill trident rgb 3200 mhz 1tb m.2 2 tb hybrid and 6 tb hdd evga 2080 ti. Cpu and gpu are both overclocked.

You are getting a lot of skipped frames due to encoding lag, are you recording with your CPU (x264) or gpu (NVENC)? Because if you are recording via x264 from the same PC your playing on you are going to get dropped frames since the game is using most resources. So I would switch to nvenc as it is basically the same if not better quality than x264 due to you being on turing architecture, and it uses the onboard encoding chip on your gpu, far less intensive.

Also try running the program as admin as a newer feature of OBS allows you to tell windows to allocate dedicated resources to OBS when running as admin.

So I have done the admin thing. I actually have it set to run as administrator Everytime I launch it. But I think I fixed it. So don't count on this but it worked as of 4 hours worth of recording. I was noticing extremely high usage of my primary drive it was on (2tb Seagate firecuda), so I decided to switch it to my 1tb m.2 nvme and now it works flawlessly. I was even able to get a heck of a lot more quality and still keep a stable 60 fps with absolutely no stutters at all. So I think it was having a issue with my read and write speeds on my drives. But thanks for the help anyway! Hopefully this can help someone else out there with similar issues.

Also I did try both gpu encoding and CPU. Neither would work they both have same results. And I have it set to run as admin Everytime it launches. But I think I fixed it. Check out my reply.
