XSplit trouble

[whistleblower52]

Hi all. So i recently started recording/streaming using Xsplit. I have been running into a little trouble while recording and streaming. Basically whenever I record/stream everything is fine until about 10 minutes in the video framerate starts to get choppy. Everything else is fine, the audio and quality remain at peak but the frames just start to lag. I have tried dropping the quality settings with no help. During recording my CPU never hits 100% utilization so I don't know if I just don't have the pure horsepower to record or if there's something else up. I use 264 as the encoder because using my GPU just has to big of a performance hit in game for me. Any help would be great

Bitrate & resolution? CPU is kinda weak for higher resolution/bitrate. Also if you are recording, speed of you HDD can cause issues.
