CPU requirements for recording video

[Lsat0902]

I have a Ryzen 5 1600X paired with a GTX 1070TI, using OBS to record, and anytime I do my CPU Usage skyrockets and I lose frames, then the video I recorded looks like a raccoon had its way with my video......IDK what to do, I only have 8G's of DDR4 b4cause of priceing right now, and Its only using 7-1/2 G's so  I'm not sure whats the matter

Your recording settings are too high.

You can just enable NVEN...MC...Change it to use the GPU rather than your CPU, or just use shadow play.

make a spoiler and include s/s of all your settings on OBS so you can get a bit more help. I know I recorded game footage in the past with OBS, and it was minimal on my CPU and you have a decent CPU. Sounds like you just have your settings messed up.
