Record settings

[Astrix137]

I dont know if I should post this here but it seems like place for it.I wanted to record some videos for youtube and Iam deciding between two programs:shadowplay or streamlabs.

When recorded with shadowplay with settings 60fps FullHd and 130mbs birate I get video that looks like original but its little worse and choppy not 60fps.I dont know if it is 60 or not but it doesnt feel like that for sure.

When I used streamlabs I set everything on max,NVENC (new),CBR with birate 14000 and video is 100% like original but there is drop often(like every 8-9sec) and its very noticable but other than that its 60fps smooth gameplay.I want to get as much same possible as original with strictly 60fps smooth video all the time.

My setup

Gpu:1660

Cpu:i5 7500

Ram:16gb 2400mhz

Thing with using NVENC (both software uses it btw) is that you have to make sure GPU usage dont max out at any time to leave enough process time for the encoding. Think of capping frame rates or lowering graphical settings.

So first game I tried out to record was fortnite and it usually goes around 110-120fps but I play with vsync so its always 75fps.Should I still lower settings or something else?

Then it could be a problem of frame rate not matching frame rate settings of the video.

Lock the fps to 60 Hz and the problem should go away.

 

If you're gonna edit the game later, you could also use lossless encoding using x264 - downside is it's gonna use A LOT of disk space, like 1-2 GB per minute for 1080p 60 Hz

 

The settings below force x264 into lossless mode, so you can use ultrafast and that's gonna be easy on your cpu. being lossless, a better preset will only reduce disk space used for each minute of video using more cpu to do that.

 

It's OK to use NV12 , bt709 and Full in the advanced tab.  For pixel art games, console capture etc you can try grabbing RGB or i444 but unless you'll export to 10bit HEVC or VP9, you're gonna lose color info anyway.

--range pc --colorprim bt709 --transfer bt709 --colormatrix bt709  --preset ultrafast --profile high444 --qp 0

Okay so I tried it out and I have two problems:first 42sec video takes about an hour to load just sound(I dont even know if it can load image),second since my refresh rate is 75hz switching to 60 is killing me,like I cant go back to that.Any other ideas

Edit: tried to record shorter videos with superfast and video is not recorded only sound.
