Pretty much title. This ONLY applies to Overwatch. So to go into a little about the specifics

I have recorded and uploaded these games:
Overwatch
HoTS
League of Legends
Hearthstone
Mass Effect Andromeda Multiplayer

and Overwatch is the ONLY game that stutters/ has laggy footage.

Here is what i have tried:

1. Used simple Output Mode, Indistinguishable file size on FLV format comparing NVENC/ x264 and x264 low cpu preset
NVENC is the best in terms of non laggy quality (but still choppy/laggy footage)

2. Same output mode, changed recording formats and pretty much same quality of lagginess

3. Changed the video output resolution from 1680x1050 to 1280x720p. Very marginal different in terms of quality improvement

4. Tried the thread "https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/obs-classic-how-to-make-high-quality-local-recordings.16/"
even though it was for OBS classic to no avail

5. Tried the thread "https://obsproject.com/forum/resour...lity-recording-and-multiple-audio-tracks.221/" of both " High Quality Settings" for NVENC and x264 to no avail

Does the problem persist if you switch to software low cpu use encoder?
And provide logs from those attempts.

The log shows you overloading your video card.

Thanks for your reply and telling me that the log shows im overloading my video card since i dunno how to make sense of the logs.

Ive tried all 3 encoders (NVENC, x264 and x264 low cpu preset)
NVENC is the only one that provides the smoothest experience which is the video i linked above. Been using NVENC for now.

All these settings will be in Output Mode Simple:
Indistinguishable Quality, large file size
FLV format

Also x264 and x264 low preset sometimes just gets stuck in "stopping recording" for a while when i stop recording

NVENC: https://gist.github.com/41c450f144ab1fa4ac54742e2e1f8c85

x264: https://gist.github.com/abcb20219987822ce25ae3f1d7c66880

x264 low preset: https://gist.github.com/cad9fb1ddce406e0a7a8fc92777e8a93

Anyone have any suggestions?

Anyone have any suggestions? Also I used to record fine on an older machine that ran windows 7 and I have read that there is something that OBS with OW doesn't like on Windows 10?
