Hi all, I am having an issue with OBS now stuttering in recordings since I made upgrades to my PC, most noticeably going froma GTX 980 to a MSi RTX 2080 GPU. Have tried in both DayZ Standalone and PUBG, the only two games I really play and create content for now.

I checked on the GeForce forums and found this post showing a similar issue to mine. https://forums.geforce.com/default/...compared-to-former-1080-ti/?offset=10#5899997 The strange thing is that Shadow Play works perfectly, no stuttering at all.

I have tried several changes to settings.
- Switched from 60FPS to 30
- Lowered bitrate from 50k to 25k and even 5k
- Changed from NVenc264 to x264
- Turned shadowplay off whilst recording with OBS

None of these solutions have made any difference to the issue. I am not at a standstill as to what to try. I am running the most current version of OBS 64 Bit
