I am trying to record through shadowplay with my new monitor (the 120hz one) and no matter what settings I use within shadowplay, my recording come out with black flashes throughout the entire thing (See link below)
If i use 60hz or even windowed mode as opposed to fullscreen, it works fine.
These are not good options for me for gaming, as I need the full screen to play the best at the competitive scene. Please advise with any thoughts you have.

Pretty sure ShadowPlay doesn't support 120 FPS recording yet, but then YouTube doesn't support 120 FPS videos either. The reason it works fine at 60Hz, is capture tools see the Hz as output FPS.

From what I've read OBS supports 120 FPS recording, but you have to take the 120FPS recording, edit it to play at half-speed at 60 FPS, upload it to YouTube at that speed and have the users play it back at 2x speed.

I know that sounds like quite a hassle, but the reality is, until the entire world is on fiber optic internet with 25MB or higher speed, what you want to do won't be practical.
