In desperate need of help regarding obs recordingsrding

[invadertrix]

Hey Everyone!

I am trying to record videos of myself playing Minecraft. I am having trouble with my recordings being choppier during playback, as well as the coloring being a little off for me. In the past, ive tried so many different settings in obs and nvidea control panel to fix my problem, but i never found a solution. I used auto config in obs to get the best settings i can without changing anything in advanced mode, as well as setting all my settings in nvidea control panel to default.

This is a freshly built PC and I'm using a 1920x1080 144 hz monitor. For some reason, 60 fps looks so choppy during playback. Even in game 60 fps is not smooth at all compared to other videos i have watched in 60fps.

I can easily play Minecraft with unlimited fps ( reaching 300-400 fps in game) and gameplay/visuals look amazing, even when cap fps to 120,140 it still looks amazing.

I dont understand why i cannot get my recordings to look the same way as my gameplay

OBS LOG :https://obsproject.com/logs/UOIzsoM4MtgBkM07 , but I dont see any warnings so i am confused

Please if anyone could give me any advice or help solve my problem, ive built this pc to start making YouTube videos to start my career, but for the past 3 months I have not been able to solve this issue, even considering just giving up, thats how much time I have put into solving this problem with no answers.

I cant post the video here, but it is on my reddit page : u/longjohnemerald

According to your log the recordings are ok. No lagged or lost frames. Try a different media player, for example VLC. The Windows integrated media player could produce these lags and your video file might be absolutely fine.

Nice computer... but even a much more powerful PC can be hobbled by too much to do at any given moment
Are you monitoring hardware resource (CPU, GPU, RAM, Disk I/O, etc) utilization [for ex. using Task manager’s Performance tab and/or Resource Monitor] to see if your system is being maxed out with your settings.

others know far more about this than I, but a common recommendation is to make sure screen refresh rate is an even multiple of FPS (ie, at 60 fps capture, don't go for more than 120hz screen refresh rate, and capping game to also be an whole multiple can be advisable ... sometimes).
Have you tried monitor refresh at 120hz, game cpped at 120fps, and OBS Studio Recording at 60 fps?

And did you change the default downscale filter to Bicubic? or is that the new default?
have you tried with the above, and a different downscale filter (paying attention to CPU impact)

And beware that no amount of OBS Studio fine tuning will make up for an Operating System that is busy with other active and background processes. And then there is the whole BIOS situation (with AMD releasing multiple 'fixes' for various issues. Intel not immune to this recently either).
