[SOLVED] Need help figuring out best way to record gameplay

[Hunter_39]

Hello. I have a i7 8086k Processor and a GTX 2080 and 16Gbs of RAM and a 500Gb Samsung evo 970 SSD. I feel like I should be able to record gameplay just fine and stream from my one pc setup. But everything i have tried has failed. I am just looking for any and all suggestions that would allow me to record gameplay with my video camera as well without any lag in the game or the recording (this is the big issue i have when trying anything so far.) Important information I game on a 1440P monitor and have been trying to record in 1080 60FPS but have tried downscaling to 1080P as well as trying my secondary 1080P monitor with no luck. I am trying to find a way to not buy a second computer.

OBS studios. You can set the video to downscale upon recording and change the bitrate of the recording as well as the fps value.

Shadowplay is another valid option, it's built in with windows 10 and nvidia.

I have tried obs and it makes my game stutter and the recording also comes out crappy

Is there any specific setting you might recomend to help?

Try lowering the bitrate and setting the compression quality to indistinguishable. Also set it to output as an mp4.

I will try that, thank you!
