Question / Help Rocket League videos have low frame rate

Hey guys,

I have been trying to make videos for Rocket League lately but keep getting a low frame rate. In game it's running smooth around 60 fps or so and no glitches or lagging. But when I watch the videos afterward there's tons of skipping and what not. Audio and mic have no lag, just the picture.

I also record League of Legends game play and those videos are smooth and never have any issues, so not sure why Rocket League is giving me such a hard time.

I've tried playing around with the video bitrate (as you'll be able to see in the logs) and that has changed it a bit but can't figure out how to make it perfect. 40,000 was terrible. 30,000 worked well for a few minutes then FPS on video dropped bad. I think I tried 25,000 last night and that wasn't as bad at 40k but was still bad. I'm thinking of trying 28,000 next.

I'm not sure if my computer is just not capable of making videos for this game or what. But seeing as how I'm able to make League videos perfectly, I would think that I could do Rocket League as well.

If you guys need anymore information, let me know.

Thanks

You're dropping a lot of frames. Your CPU is pretty old, 2008 old. It'll play the game fine but if you're trying to record/play it can be really tough so you really only have a couple options. Drop your settings, set your X264 CPU Preset higher and your resolution lower, or you will probably have to get a better processor in order to handle the recording while playing.

Yeah I had a feeling it was the computer. I will look into trying that and if it doesn't work, upgrading the CPU then. Thanks!

I doubt you will find a CPU for the LGA775 socket significantly better than your Q8200...

You should get a more recent Core i7 4xxx or higher with matching motherboard and RAM.

Okay. So at this point it would just be better to upgrade my whole motherboard then?

As a gamer and a streamer I look for motherboards with multiple fullsize PCIe slots. Usually intended for SLI, but it gives you the option at least to install things like PCIe SSDs and funky capture cards. Even if I don't use it. Also, get a board with 4 memory slots and only fill 2. That way you can add memory later without needing to replace anything. Try and get one where the chipset starts with a Z

As for memory, anything with a heatspreader means the company at least made an effort to get some quality. Unless you're an overclocking buff don't bother with the speed and timing information too much. Pick something middle of the pack. Any gains after that tend to be costly and minimal. Just make sure you buy the type that matches your motherboard:
SODIMMs are for laptops and micro-PCs, DIMMs are for desktop.

Your CPU should be a current i7 with the EXACT SAME socket as your motherboard (Socket 1151 CPUs will not fit in Socket 1150 motherboards). They don't NEED to end with a K, those are ones that have stuff unlocked so you can fiddle with them. Again, only useful for overclockers. Just get lots of cores and as high Gigahertz as you can afford (find the point BEFORE they get silly expensive).

Personally I have a GIGABYTE motherboard, but ASUS makes great boards as well. I bought an i5-4460 (which has 4 cores, like the i7). It's nice and works hard, but it's struggling to do double x264 (stream at 720p, record at 1080p) so I'm eyeing an upgrade to the i7-4790 as it's supposed to give quite the boost... Now only to convince the wifey :).
