At what bit-rate should I record with my 970 STRIX?

Rayhaan Jiwani

Hello Forum,

 

I wanted to know at what bit-rate should I record using ShadowPlay where I'll get the maximum quality without stuttering. I was recording Goat Simulator at 1080p, 60FPS at 130Mbps but when I was editing it, the video in the preview screen was stuttering a lot so I don't know whether it's just because it's the preview but I think I should record at a lower bit-rate. BTW, the game ran at a smooth 60FPS at the highest settings.

 

Thanks! :)

What video editor were you using? Does it stutter when you view the raw footage? If it doesn't, then it's probably your editor.

its might be that your PC cannot handle editing footage of that size

 

render the video out and see if it still stutters

30Mbps  is a good starting point for Youtube.  My channel is mostly 30Mbps records of WoW raids if you're interested in looking at the quality once uploaded.

QUOTE ME IN A REPLY SO I CAN SEE THE NOTIFICATION!

When there is no danger of failure there is no pleasure in success.

130mbps is pretty intense, try 50

Don't ask to ask, just ask... please 🤨

This build is less than a week old, my CPU is a Core i5-4960k at stock and a GTX 970 STRIX at factory clock. And I'm saving the footage to my Caviar Black which is the same disk which my game is on so if that's the problem but I think it's not.

 

What video editor were you using? Does it stutter when you view the raw footage? If it doesn't, then it's probably your editor.

 

I'm using the Sony Movie Studio 13 Platinum, BTW thanks for reminding me to notice the stutter in the raw footage but apparently I din't do that and deleted the two episodes since I even had some other audio problems.

 Caviar Black which is the same disk which my game is on so if that's the problem but I think it's not.

 

 

that IS the problem, you need to record to a separate drive!

Ok then will a WD My Passport Ultra 1TB USB 3 work?

And so does that mean I can record at a higher bit-rate since 30 during local playback after rendering looks pixelated?
