OBS help

[GrimScoreLP]

Hey, I'm not sure if I'm in the right forum for this but this one looked like it made the most sense. I'm trying to do local recording from OBS and am looking to do 1080p60fps if possible, 1080p30 if not. I'm currently recording 1080p30 but am running into issues while playing games. Its mostly noticeable in csgo where it feels like my sensitivity goes from the 2.5 its at to 1 and the game feels generally less responsive. The recordings are also grainy, which I'm pretty sure has to do with low nitrate. What I'm looking for is settings to try as well as maybe an explanation of what everything is used when recording and why my computer would slow down.

Enable NVENC as the codec and play around with the bit rate. You should be able to use 10,000 which is pretty good for quality.

Use .264 encoding when livestreaming.

 

Use NVENC when recording locally, with a higher bitrate.

NVENC has bugger all impact on fps, and is the better option for local recordings.

 

Try 30000kb/s bitrate with NVENC, for local recordings. Increase/decrease based upon the output quality, to find the sweet spot between file size and quality you're happy with.

Is NVENC going to impact video editing at all? I render to MP4 with sony Vegas
