Recording at 1440p@60 on my rig

[mbilal2]

I am extremely picky about my content on YouTube and I usually record gameplays at 1080p30. Now that my pc is finally built I am looking forward to recording on 1440p60. My specs are i5 7600k OC @4.8 Ghz. 16 Gb ram @3200 and a msi gtx 1080 gaming x set on OC mode. EVGA 850W Gold+ PSU and 1TB SSD and 3TB WD Red HDD ‑ 7200 RPM.
Recording BF1 at 1440p looks absolutely beautiful except the random video twitches for about second. My monitor is overclocked to 165Hz @1440p so don't give me BS about why I want to record in 1440p. It is a G-sync monitor so I expect the gameplay to be extremely smooth which I get. I just want my videos to be aas smooth. Anyone got the perfect bitrate that I should record on? Any help will be appreciated. I understand there's a lot of data being written on the HDD. Should I upgrade my HDD to an M.2 ssd?

I would recommend recording to an SSD, but what are you recording with. I use ShadowPlay and everything comes out smooth. Granted I'm doing 1080@60fps. Do you have an SSD. You can record to the SSD, and the copy to the hard drive. That's how I render my videos. It's much quicker (and cheaper) that way.

Yes I have a 1 TB ssd to which I record to. I used to use Action! for 1080p@60 and it was perfect. Now I have been using OBS for 1440p@60. Maybe there's something wrong with my bitrate?

Could be the bitrate. Have you tried using Shawdow Play? Can't really remember my settings, but it records, and is always smooth, even after 2 hours of recording.

Alright I just tried shadowplay on BF 1 and I have to say it runs way smoother. The problem is the color seemed washed out and I am talking about quite big difference. I can add color in post but it doesn't have the crispiness of the original gameplay, which I was able to capture through OBS. A plus to shadow play that I noticed is that the file size isn't as big.
