Question / Help Rendering Lag (Affecting all OBS based apps)

[AlohaAkahai]

I am getting Dropped frames and lag on rendering. This is affecting all OBS based apps. (including Streamlabs OBS). It is not affecting competitor Software like Xsplit and AMD Relive w/ Overlay. And this is just a test with Skyrim Special Edition. I should not be getting Render lag with AMD 480 and Ryzen 7 1st gen and 16gb of ram.

12:14:18.009: Output 'adv_file_output': Number of lagged frames due to rendering lag/stalls: 449 (20.0%)
12:14:18.010: ==== Recording Stop ================================================
12:14:18.010: Video stopped, number of skipped frames due to encoding lag: 174/2243 (7.8%)

In a single PC setup, with a 1080p canvas resolution, it is absolutely possible to get rendering lag on an RX480, especially if you're not capping your in-game framerate or using vsync.

The log also indicates that even if you could, you can't encode those frames at the rate selected.
