Hey guys, I'm having problems with getting my recording/streaming quality to come out decent. I dont ever stream and try to record at the same time. its usually choppy or quality is terrible. maybe my hardware cant handle it? but it should.... I have the stream down scaled to 720 but recording full 1080p. I have both at 30fps. Am I doing something wrong, or is there something I should change? I did some recording today and posted the logs. thank you for any help!!

The AMF encoder on AMD cards is not "free", exactly, like NVENC on Nvidia cards. You're slightly overloading your GPU, and OBS warns of this almost immediately:
16:54:12.272: [AMF] <Id: 29> No output Packet, encoder is overloaded!
16:54:12.349: [AMF] <Id: 29> No output Packet, encoder is overloaded!

I'm not familiar with the AMF settings, but you incur the most load when doing 1080p60, which some of these sessions are.
If your streaming and recording settings are different, (one scaled, the other not) then you're using two encoding sessions on the GPU, plus the load of the application you are capturing. This may not be tenable on that hardware.
