Trouble recording gameplay

[cody000125]

Hey guys,

 

I'm having some troubles recording gameplay i usually use obs, which makes me lag in games, yet gives not that bad of video quality when i'm done.  I've also been trying out Shadowplay which seems to be my favorite so far, only slight lag sometimes, usually run around 200 fps in league, yet when i watch the video over around 10-20m through that video it becomes choppy and hard to watch.  I was wondering if you guys had any suggestions, would help a lot.

 

Here are my Specs:  

 

Intel Core i5 4670K

MSI Z87-GD65 gaming motherboard

8G of Ram

2TB HHD

Geforce GTX 980, Geforce GTX 660Ti

850W PSU

 

I'm running 3 monitors, run 2 on the 660Ti and 1 on the 980, also running phyx on the 660TI, not sure if that has anything to do with it.  Also would it be better to run just the 980, or keep the 660Ti.  I read somewhere that it might lower the performance  of the 980 because it downgrades to the 660Ti's specs, but i'm not sure. I can't find much on it.

 

Thanks in advance,

-Cody

Well, plug everything into the 980, make sure it is in the top slot. 
I'm pretty sure there is an option to not render anything but physx on the 660ti, but either way i would just remove it. 

As for the video, it may be related to mismatched GPUs, but if there is an option in geforce experience to split the recording files up after X amount of time, try that.

I would just use the 980 bro. If I remember correctly, you are just lowering the PCI Lanes thus bottlenecking your cards for no reason.

 

A 980 is plenty to max every game at 1080p and record it, even if not with Shadowplay.

Ok thanks! I'll try it out when I get home.
