Can someone recommend settings for OBS?

i recently noticed when i run heavy gpu games like COD VANGUARD and Deathloop my obs recording skips frames even though my pc is good (RTX 3080 r7 5800x 32gb ram) and i render using NVENC. firstly is this normal? secondly if it is what can i do to fix it other than use instant replay or any other software. i currently use 1440p 60 fps on my obs replay buffer. i also run obs as admin

Swap the rate control to CBR and start cranking up bitrate until the stats starts to show frames skipped/missing. Start from 3000Kbps or so.

Nope, usually it should be hitchless and most of the frame skipping is usually the result of not enough bitrate or the game itself. Deathloop in particular have been poo in performance thanks to it being packed with ewaste Denuvo out of the box.

Well just go to recording tab, but by default both recording and streaming syncs settings.
