result is very choppy after i finish recording

[Bran999]

A week ago i recorded a video, and it was completely fine. but yesterday i tried to record, and the result of it was a choppy/low fps video that had low quality and overall didnt look good. I dont know if it can be a software issue or hardware, because my computer isn't laggy when recording , its just the finishing product.

My specs
64 ram
4090 gpu
windows 11

please help, i tried yesterday for like an hour but i got the same results

Please post a log with your issue! Here's how...

OBS Studio creates a log file each time you run it which contains very useful diagnostic information. Without a log file, it's much harder for any support volunteers to figure out problems and your post may be ignored. To upload a log file, go to the Help menu > Log Files > Upload Last Log...

so i read and did all the solutions but i still get the same video quality https://obsproject.com/logs/bivsPkqVnUt0jgfJ
it says my GPU is at 100% but when im recording i check and its only at 20%. And also i say that the encoder was also listed but i dont know which one to use software or hardware

Run that through the same analyzer, and follow the links in the sections about overloads.

it says my GPU is at 100% but when im recording i check and its only at 20%.

What says, and where do you check? OBS can only report what it uses by itself. It can't report the total load, and that's what matters.

And also i say that the encoder was also listed but i dont know which one to use software or hardware

If you *can* use hardware, do. It's usually a dedicated section of the GPU that does nothing else anyway, and it takes that load off of the CPU so it can do other things. But if you have to use software encoding (x264), then you have to, and be ready for the performance hit.

yesterday when trying to figure it out i was running OBS while recording also while having task manager , but what i do see is thath my cpu is at 60%. But the reason i dont understand this problem is because my first ever OBS video was very nice and no bad quality, on the recording its very laggy and stuttery but my computer is not. If this helps this was my first video with OBS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ee_QimxMZqs&t=146s and the video attached is how it looks now but for some reason when i uplod it to youtube it looks fluid but on my computer files it runs terrible https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h4VA56nEcRU

Just a couple of items with OBS left to do
19:12:09.005: Game DVR: On > Off
19:12:09.005: Game Mode: Off > On

Set your monitor @ 120HZ
19:12:09.224: refresh=165 > 120

Also try using Game instead of Display capture
- source: 'Display Capture' (monitor_capture)

If it's still stuttering, it's happening upstream of OBS & additional adjustments are needed.

Your first recording in the log shows system overload. But no lag for the rest of the recordings completed. In game settings might need a little tweaking.
