GPU overclocking wont help with that. Maybe more faster RAM would.

Hi there so to start my setup is:

Gigabyte Aorus B450 M

Ryzen 5 2600X (Boosted to 3.8ghz)

Be Quiet! Pure Rock 2 Black Air cooler

2x 8GB Corsair Vengeance LPX 2400mhz DDR4

Gigabyte Aorus RX580 8GB

Antec HCG 650W Semi modular 80Plus Gold

OS Windows 10 on Intel SSD 760p Series

Games on Seagate BarraCuda 2TB Sata 3 HDD

Recording software on COTT 500GB Sata 2 SSD

 

Now before transferring my recording software to the SSD I was running both that and games from the Seagate drive and at times would have stuttering in my recording, a couple of seconds of corrupted video where image would freeze and audio wouldn't record, and I wouldn't be aware of if and when this happened until reviewing and editing the video.

 

So I'm doing everything I can to try and minimize this interruption and wondered if a GPU overclock would be beneficial and if so to what settings? (MSI Afterburner) Also any upgrades to my system that you think would help with gaming and recording content on a single PC would be appreciated.

 

Thanks 🙂

Have you tried different recording software and settings in case you are able to avoid having to upgrade hardware?

I would try that first and if you get issues no matter which software and settings you use then look at a hardware upgrade.

Bought some faster RAM, also since moving the recording software to a separate drive I did a 30min recording of Blood Bowl 2 and didn't appear to have the stuttering/hanging issue so guess two programs access the same drive was to blame. Thank you 🙂
