Weird Screenshakes on Recording

I have a really weird issue with screenshaking on recordings of The Elder Scrolls Online.
Spent a lot of time reading a lot of stuff and already tried a lot of them...
nothing helped so far to ged rid of it

Formerly i was running 5900x, 32gb ram, 7900XTX (which i replaced later with a 4090.
Now i'm on a new rig, 9800x3d, 64gb ram, 4090.
2x4k screens both at same refresh rate 240hz
Win 11 Pro freshly installed and the problem is still there...
utilization of gpu/cpu is more or less at 40%

I tested with AMD Relive, Nvidia App and OBS.... It won't matter....
FPS is capped at 144 (but also capped it at other framerates like 120 (which would be better because frame ratio, or 300 for example,
doesnt seem to matter considering the issue)

Now, while the game itself runs totally fine, no shakes at all or Issues
- The Recordings introduce some weird camera shakes....

Needless to say i tested out already a lot of stuff where nothing seemed to help:

- Fullscreen / Windowed Fullscreen
- Different Recording Settings (Resolutions, Bitrates, etc.)
- Gamemode on/off
- HAGS on/off,
- Vsync or Gsync on/off,
- Mouse raw input 0/1, Polling rate swich to 500
- Different FPS Caps
- Running ESO as Admin
- No Anti Virus or Stuff, OS is pretty much naked
- Disabled all Addons of the game (you never know)
- etc.

Maybe someone had a similar issue once upon a time and has a hint,
because i'm starting to run out of ideas what i could check :(

Maybe its the screens causing the issue (DSC or whatever), but seriously not sure if that has any relation to actual recording,
as i also tested 120hz/144hz (where there would not be any dsc)
Or maybe HW Encoder simply causing issue on that particular game and i should go CPU encoding...


Any Advice is welcome

4k. I'll play.

I only run (1) monitor @ high refresh rates, all others @ 60. This will reduce load.

Disable these, not needed & can waste resources.
17:02:56.694: Game Bar: On
17:02:56.694: Game DVR: On

Post a complete log. Close/re-open OBS after the test & post the previous log. Profiler at the bottom makes it easier to spot what may be lagging.

The performance of that game @ 4k is dreadful, even with your rig. Based on the info I'm looking at (80FPS Average in Low), I would run the monitors @ 60HZ.

gamebar i actually disabled it in win11 and set it to never - in log it still states "on". however..
will test again with only one screen connected 4k @ 120hz / 120fps capped.... will see

60fps/60hz just feels super shitty... then i'd rather go 1440p / 120fps...
Have to say its way more stable to hold FPS on x3d compared to the 5900x i had before...
Need additional testing, which is super time consuming....

what drives me the most nuts is just, that it only occurs on the recording... because when playing / on screen
everything is fine.... :(

Still running W10 & will until the very end just to avoid that cluster#$%^......

No sense to running high refresh rates with it. Like trying to hammer a square peg through a round hole.
