The best setting!

[Valentin98]

Hi, can you give me a recommendation for the best setting for my system? I want to use OBS Studio to record without crashing or going hard!

My system information:

Processor - Intel Core i3
3110M 2.40GHz
Video Card - Intel HD Graphics 4000 (1.75 GB RAM)
8 GB RAM
Operating system: Windows 8 / x64 bit
Resolution 1366 x 768

go with OBS' auto config settings as that is an under-powered laptop, optimized for battery life, not the computationally demanding task of real-time video encoding. I'd recommend against having high expectations. There are LOTS (dozens) of threads in this forum on the same subject, so I'll let you search them out
A key consideration will be whether QuickSync is an option for the GPU (I'll let you look that up)
When looking for OBS settings discussions, I'd recommend focusing on those specific to an under-powered system

Short version
- don't use OBS' Studio Mode as that is 2X rendering workload
- keep base and output resolution the same if you can (again, reducing workload)
- start simple, don't get fancy with chroma-keying, noise cancellation, etc ..

Oh, and read the requirements and quick start guide for OBS at https://obsproject.com/wiki/
