[Hercules Nikolaidis]

hello greetings from greece  
i want to record good quality videos using OBS but i cant find the right adjustments for my pc  

my specs are :

CPU : AMD FX - 6100 Black edition - 6 cores - 3.30 Ghz
GPU : MSI R9 390 8G
RAM : 10Gb

Are you trying to record while you game? Because that system will not cut it.

well yes  why not ?

Encoding video with CPU takes a lot of power to do. Even on very powerful workstations, encoding video can take lots of CPU. Your CPU is older, and was mid range when it came out. I expect you will end up using most of your CPU's power on encoding, leaving the game you are playing with little to none. It also appears you do not have any devices capable of offloading the encoding, so you would have to use cpu encoding.

What settings for you want to know. For recording is use amd hardware encoding on the gpu.

Gpu encoding would solve this problem and the gpu supports it.
