What are the specs of the hardware you are trying to use to do this with?

i have a ryzen 5 1600x and a gigabyte 1660 super OC with 2 8gb 3200mhz ram
im gonna buy a new motherboard and new 4th gen cpu ryzen 7 or 5 when it gets released maybe next year and probably faster ram

4th Gen Ryzen CPUs have already been released. The Ryzen 5600x, 5800x and so on have been available for a while now. And by "available" I mean technically they are out there, although actually getting your hands on one is a different story, much like the Nvidia 300 series graphics cards right now.

However, your system SHOULD be capable enough for recording decent quality video, depending on what resolution you are actually running and what kind of quality settings you have configured?

Is it gaming that you are trying to record, or something else?

yeah like gaming its at 1920x1080p 75fps but it doesnt look like 1080p like 480p it is watchable but i want better because i can
have 4th gen been released i didnt know that i was gonna wait for 4th gen because if i bough gen 3 and like a month later they release gen 4 then i already got outdated components. r5 5600x exist in my country huh didnt know that ive had this pc since summer and since i have always wounder why didnt i update bios and bough a 3rd gen

i often try get as high fps as possible Like texture quality and stuff like i often have that on high or medium and rest useless thing low because i try to get as much fps as possible without looking terrible

Are you gaming, recording and streaming at the same time or just gaming and recording?

It is kind of hard to find the "best settings" in OBS since we all have a bit of different setups.
If you follow a video or guide, it might not work since it was done on a different system.
I have used OBS on several system and they all required different settings.
I usually start with the base settings, then adjust and test.

I only make these changes, so try them and see if you get better results.

Output mode: Advanced

On the Recording tab
Recording format mp4
Encoder: NVIDIA NVENCH H.264 (new)
Rescale Output: blank
Rate Control: CBR
Bitrate: 7000/8000 Kbps for 720p @ 60fps (16000k for 1080p @ 60fps)
Keyframe Interval: 2
Preset: Quality (20 series Max quality)
Look-ahead & Psycho Visual tunning: checked

On the Video tab
Output scaled resolution: 1280x720
Downscale Filter: Lancsos
Common FPS Value: 60 (change it to 30 if you are doing 720p @ 30fps)

On the Advanced tab
Color Range: full

If OBS needs more resources and you get Encoder overload errors... then change Process Priority: to Above Normal (it could result in lower FPS while gaming)

sure i can do that i already have encoder on the gpu wich i probably always will have because thats the gpu job to render 3d
i will try these i want to do 1080p so i will try 720p is fine to but 30fps feels a bit poor but. the thing is im not really good at this stuff so i dont really know what the setting do example like b frames and stuff

As I say you could try different settings....but with your hardware I would recommend 720p @ 60 fps max.

...but the thing is im not really good at this stuff so i dont really know what the setting do example like b frames and stuff

That's how everyone started. We learn by trying different settings, testing and see what works and what does not.
If do not know what a settings do, I just leave it alone or I try it and see the results.

Why OBS? Shadowplay is nice and simple, great quality with pretty good file sizes. Still allows you to adjust bitrate up to I think 50 mbps, which works fine
