I'm recording at 1080p 60fps on indistinguishable with my AMD encoder. I'm playing games on my SSD and recording to a SSD, so no drive complications should be present. I'm not sure what's going on. I have a 144hz monitor, so when I record, or even play games below say 100 FPS it feels choppy some. Well I was recording some gameplay of CoD: WW2 Open Beta for PC to put on my YouTube channel. I don't understand what's going on. It seems to happen for most games I record if I don't get a high FPS, even though I'm recording at 60. In-game it feels fine, even if I get 80-90 FPS when recording, it's just the recording itself looks choppy, Premeire Pro makes it look choppy even if I play it 1/4 quality to increase smoothness of playback.

I recorded some Rocket League the other day on the same settings and it looks fine. RL doesn't take much to run, but it's still the same concept and similar FPS, byu about 20-30 or so.

Any help is appreciated.

And saving to an extremely volatile format.

Volatile format? So you are going to tell me what's wrong but not help me fix it? I understand why you posted, but if it's not helping the person needing help why post?

What's wrong and how do I fix it? What's wrong with .mp4? I've left most things on default.

What's wrong with .mp4?

If ANYTHING causes an mp4 to not finalize properly, the ENTIRE recording session is LOST.

Post a screenshot of the first tab of gpu-z please.

mp4 is used by most people so am I just doing it wrong?

Most people that don't know how bad an idea it actually is to save directly to mp4.
There are precisely ZERO good reasons to save directly to mp4.
Record to FLV or MKV. If you record to MP4 and the recording is interrupted, the file will be corrupted and unrecoverable. If you require MP4 files for some other purpose like editing, remux them afterwards by selecting File > Remux Recordings in the main OBS Studio window.

Not sure why it's bad considering I've never seen a video that doesn't chose mp4 for file format.

You are ignoring warnings both here and in obs by saving directly to mp4. Just because every guide you've seen recommends mp4, that doesn't magically make it a good format to save in.

I've never had any problems with it and I don't worry too much about a video being lost as I've never had any issues like that and two I've never had any issues like that. Why are you arguing with me on a post I'M ASKING FOR HELP ON A DIFFERENT ISSUE? Please try to stick to the OP instead of arguing with me about using mp4 or not using mp4. I could really care less right now. I'm just trying to make my videos look smooth, not choppy.

A file being unrecoverable sucks, but a file of a recording that looks choppy as hell is worse because it's footage you don't want versus footage you don't have.

Have you tried using simple output mode, indistinguishable recording quality,?
Have you tried capping the FPS in your game to close to your display's refresh rate?
Have you turned game mode OFF in windows' settings?

Yes to all. Not sure what's causing the issues. It seems to be happening with AMD Relive and Mirillis Action so I can only assume OBS might not be the culprit. Emphasis on might. The HDD I'm recording to is a 1tb seagate barracuda 7200rpm drive and the SSD the games are on, the ones I'm trying to record, is a Sandisk 120gb SSD with 34gb of free space.

If the problem is happening in multiple programs on your computer, obs definitely isn't the issue.

Yeah definitely didn't expect that considering I just said it...???

Are you here to help or identify problems that have already been identified? I want help, not you telling me something's wrong. PLEASE STOP POSTING. I already asked you to not do this before. One more time and I'll report. I could care less that I'm telling you I will report you as I'm here to get help and not have someone repeat what I've said.

You're expecting me to know 100% about EVERYTHING installed your setup at this point.

And demanding we help with an issue that you have stated yourself isn't actually our issue is not exactly helpful to anyone.

You're going to have to go through your installed applications and drivers and troubleshoot them one by one. At this point it's beyond the scope of OBS' support forums.
