OBS Stutter on Recording

[BeforeLoyalty]

Problem: the OBS recording stutter, but gameplay is normal and safe. What happened? 

this is the setting that i used following some test and encoder setting 


and this is the recorded screenshot w/ MSI afterburner/rivatuner fps counter: 

 

I think it is due to limitation of my GPU which cant handle, is it any idea how to make it not suttering ??


Attempts to solve this problem:

- Default Setting on CRF with CPU preset very fast 
- trying to encode with NVENC (failed to record), i dont realize that my GPU is not support nvenc
- changing video bitrate into 40k kbps
- Restart OBS and PC 
- using Fraps, but the watermark of free version bothering me  (and the gameplay are not stuttering, but the recorded files is too large, guess i need another recording software, any suggestion?)

Try changing encoder to x264, and set speed to very fast. That should lower cpu usage.
