Best Settings for Recording in OBS Studio **NO LAG** 2024

[@JanWilliamsBailey]

This proper helped me I was getting 7-15fps before. Now getting 50fps recordings Looking clean, Thank you so much 🙏

[@m.sabir21]

Thanks, i was facing this issue since i updated to the new version day before yesterday. I followed your steps, run as administrator and change the graphic card setting to high performance, and it fix the issue. I had recorded to important meetings but unfortunately these were before setting, thus sound quality is terrible in these recordings. Thanks for the best video to target the correct issue. I watched many videos to fix this but no one addressed the actual root cause of the problem.

I've been getting lag for certain games. Did try your settings solution for Sonic Frontiers, and its working fine, thanks to you. Now I have to check if this works on other games like Devil May Cry 5, where the Graphics is more advanced.

[@stephencgn]

Glad I could help man 🫶 the support is very much appreciated

[@Mattpsb]

[@XEliteEditz]

[@A.R.KGamerOfficial]

bro my obs studio is not opening after converting it to high performance i came here for help and got another problem plz tell how to fix it

[@Jakuboqq]

yes that did help me but i had to set it to highest for 50 FPS and the quality was literally 4K ultra HD

[@HastaLaVista6978]

TYSM THIS WORKED MAN BIG THANKS

[@GLIMPSE_00]

I am having an issue with my videos I record! Seems like if I record and long video almost at least 3 or 4 times in that video for about 20 seconds my audio gets real choppy n laggy from the desktop audio & then it goes back fine. Everything else is okay but that lag from desktop audio, any suggestions?

[@MR_GT78]

I do not even have the CRF option in my OBS for recording. My options are CBR, CQP, VBR, and Lossless. I read not to use Lossless or CQP for streaming and recording at the same time. After a computer update I have had issues with lagging when recording and streaming at the same time. I am streaming and recording at the same time with a dedicated gaming laptop for only streaming and recording.

[@Nashawnnnnn]

fps went from 30 to 60 appreciate you!

[@stephencgn]

I'm so happy I got to help 🫶

[@Exoticlegendd]

At 3:38 i dont have the same as you? What should i do man

[@HastaLaVista6978]

Well luckily i have same graphic card as him so not a problem for me

[@AbaddonTv]

thank you.

[@alshehhizayed9438]

I am 4090 Rtx with high end pc and the quality while recording is good but it’s like playing 10fps it can’t record anything what can I do to fix ? And am playing on 2560x1440 help me plz

[@LutchJogos]

Really awesome video, bro. OBS could have a HUD to show when we are or are not recording in full screen. Just like Action and Bamdcam have. This way, on the game screen, we would know when the recording is running or paused. If this exists I still don't know.

[@stoutimonstimulations]

there is bottom right of obs kind of like a status bar hud

[@grogz_jee]

I got issue with delay. When I play like a fighting game on Roblox then i get much delay when i press the m1 button and when i record my fps goes lower than 60 and i usually play on 170

[@DexterTheFox2865]

For some reason my obs still lags recording a game

[@XGIILS]

thanks you!

[@user-yn8zu3mh1f]

Love ur vids bro, huge respect for u. U only eat 2 meals a day and have juice for breakfast

[@koaleplaysmm2]

I use X264 and this helped a teeny bit but for some reason it's still choppy when I record LOL But ty!

[@sonicgalaxy27]

Dude this thing just started happening to me since Friday. 😑

[@Mrswixvr]

when i open the folder where the recording is it saying i need to buy hevc to play it.

[@T1ppyGD]

try changing the video encoder to x264

[@ChariZePsycho]

Hey i used the cpu settings and the quality of video is great but the fps looks like it averages from 30-45 fps even when i set it to 60 fps. Not sure if i have to change the CRF or the CPU usage

[@stephencgn]

You should try changing both. Maybe try changing the CPU to Speed or Balanced and set the CRF to a higher number

[@ChariZePsycho]

@@stephencgn alright thank you (edit: it worked changing both and balancing it)

[@mars_gleaming]

nahhh bro your the best :D :D

[@robloxianplayz3960]

whys mine different than yours the encorder setting idk if QuickSync HEVC is a gpu but my graphics card is intel please reply im confused

[@robloxianplayz3960]

i mean i have extra options like B frames,Latency,Profile, and target usage

[@stephencgn]

I'm not entirely sure but I don't think you have a graphics card. Since you say it's an Intel, I'm assuming it's actually your CPU, especially if you're on laptop. You should just use x264 in that case.

[@onlydexcent4]

THANK YOU HOLY

[@heyysmearo]

i tried everything u said, but for some reason my videos still record super laggy

[@stephencgn]

I'm really sorry to hear my tips didn't help you.

[@Jakuboqq]

danke

[@purpledonatello]

Question about changing the power setting to full or maximum quality in advance tab so that obs can use more gpu for the app. Will those be a good additional settings help with no lag. I'm on windows 7 so having a older obs I don't have much options available. I plan to upgrade my computer.

[@stephencgn]

Yes ofc those will help with preventing and reducing lag

[@LightningWingMLP]

this is a good video

[@Envexxas]

My grapic card wont show up even if I have one, do you know why?

[@stephencgn]

I unfortunately don't I'm sorry I can't help I hope you can fix that soon.

Nice! But can you try with a MacPro?

[@stephencgn]

I would love to but unfortunately I don't have one 😓

bRUh im still laggy

Bro it didn't work💀

[@THUGNIFICENT4g]

didnt work.

I'm sorry

2024?

[@fr_acronicus]

NGL CQP is a scam since you need lvl 14 for perfect quality while it so laggy it legit freezes the video. DON'T USE THIS SETTING !

[@poorerspokesman17]

Thank u so now what setting you Recommend

[@fr_acronicus]

@@poorerspokesman17 CBR 50k and also forgot to mention P7 doesn't actually beat P6 so P6 quality tuning, high quality keyframe 2s gpu 0 max b frame 2 with encoder H265 this is what you should have unless if you have a gpu that can record in AV1, check eposvox video for that he's more reliable than me but CQP and P7 are scams

[@fr_acronicus]

@@poorerspokesman17 i'll do that in vertical order : Recording format : fragmented MOV (unlocks 32 bits float), video encoder : NVIDIA NVEC HEVC (aka H.265), audio encoder : FFmpeg PCM (32-bits float), encoder settings : rate control CBR, bitrate between 40k-60k, keyframe interval : 2s, preset : P6, tuning : high quality, multipass mode : 2 passes (quarter res) (full res doesn't make difference but would prob slower performances), profile : main (main10 sucks tbh), look-ahead : off, psycho visual tuning : on, GPU : 0, max B-frames : 2. Here are high quality no stuttering settings (depends of your PC).

@fr_acronicus what if I have a 64 bit pc
