What hardware are you running. OBS works fine for me.

 

Xpslit, but it costs money

Xsplit has a few issues as well.

ShadowPlay isn't supported with my hardware.

Obs's 60fps stutters to 50-ish fps way too constantly.

XSplit induces unrecoverable freezes.

Action avoids all of these issues, but uses a vfr codec.

Nothing.

have you tried obs at 30 fps or tried using quicksync or nvec.

 

have you tried recording with vfs and then using a program to conver it, like ame or handbrake

Action has failed me because it records in a Vfr, which messes up Premiere's sync.

What do you mean by Premiere's sync? Sound-sync goes wrong when the framerate drops? If your hardware can't handle ShadowPlay, you may need to dial it back to 30fps for recording. Or do what @Electronics Wizardy said and try to convert the file to a constant framerate file with Handbrake or even Adobe Media Encoder. Either way it sounds like it's time for a GPU upgrade and/or capture card.

The sound goes off sync with vfr. I'm not sure if I can handle ShadowPlay or not. It's that GeForce restricts access from it because I have a mobile gpu. And yes, I think I do need an upgrade...

Nvec is giving me the issues. X264 doesn't change anything. Quicksync is far choppier than both of those. 30fps on obs works fine. So does every other number other than 59 and 60. It records, and no lag is visible in game, it's just that the file will change from 60fps to say 50fps for like 3 seconds and go back. Handbrake takes waay too long. And I don't have media encoder.

Nothing.

Yeah, it sounds like you're just hammering your hardware too much for it to keep up with gaming and recording at the same time. Does the game stay at 60fps when the recording drops to ~50? I'd just leave it be with 30fps and wait until you upgrade to start doing 60fps. Are you recording 1080p at 60fps or 720p? You can try downscaling it to 720p for the recording and see if that helps as well. If you're uploading it to YouTube or streaming to Twitch at 720p, it's honestly not that big of a deal. What disk are you recording to as well?

Both games exceed 60fps constantly. Action is doing 1080p 60fps. Obs is doing native res 60fps. (1366x768). (I've already tried downscaling. No effect.) I'm using a 5400rpm drive, which is probably the issue. I just don't understand why Action isn't affected by the hardware, but everything else is.

Nothing.

The 5400rpm drive isn't helping, but that is weird that Action works and the others don't. I'd cap your games at 60fps though, give yourself some extra headroom at least.

The 60fps cap changed nothing. Obs is still choppy. Guess I'm stuck with vfr.

Nothing.
