Hey folks -
i5 4690, GTX 970, 16gb RAM on Windows 10 here. I am trying to record Overwatch but I can't get it to record smoothly at all. I have no problem recording Arma 3 which is a really CPU heavy game so I don't really understand this.
TBH, it's this choppy even when I'm not actually recording, and just watching the preview pane on my other monitor.
Not sure what I am doing wrong. This is what it looks like: https://streamable.com/qjvvf
That 12.7% of lagged frames doesn't sound good, but I'm not sure what to change. I've fiddled with a lot of settings and had no luck. As you can see I even tried dropping the resolution from 1440p to 1080p and it doesn't matter.
I get 60fps in game, on Ultra, at 1440p and almost never even drop a frame. I can't figure this out.
