OBS 4K Screen Capture Settings

[Massimo480]

Hello Linus Tech Tips Community!

 

When I do 4K Screen Capture and use Premiere Pro, Lightroom, or Luminar, my webcam will lag heavily at certain points when the CPU is a bit overloaded. All of these programs rely heavily on the CPU, I am aware of this, and perhaps there is no way to eliminate the lag. I want to believe though that there has to be a way to handle the situation given my decent Computer system.

 

These are my PC specs:

AMD Threadripper 1950x

64GB DDR4 Ram

RTX 2080 Ti

 

 

I understand that using the NVENC Nvidia Encoder will tax the GPU instead of the CPU, but I have not been able to find the best quality settings yet, any suggestions?

I'm also aware of the differences between CBR and VBR, but which one will put less stress on the CPU? Choosing a lower quality CB-Bitrate, or going with VRB? 

 

Image Quality should be at least 8/10. 

 

Since I'm not Gaming, 24 fps is what I use. 

 

 

Thank you for any advice in advance!
