OBS 60fps not actually 60fps

[Shuaizu]

I play games well over 60fps. I also record in 60fps just fine, and use the best settings I can based off of many different tutorial videos on youtube. However, the result is not actually 60fps even though it says it is. It feels more like 40 or 50. How can I get the silky smooth 60 that you always see on youtube?

Maybe you record in 60fps but video is rendered in 40-50 fps ?

Use ShadowPlay if you aren't getting satisfactory results with OBS. It might be your hardware.

What evidence do you have that it's NOT 60fps?

You only state it "feels like it's 40 - 50" Is this purely subjective interpretation of perception?

Use a good video editing software and check the number of frames in the video from 0:00.0 to 0:00.984

I absolutely love it when people blame your hardwre with 0 information at all. I7 and 1080, yeah, its tooootally my hardware.. LMFAO

The only advice I can give is to keep tweaking with OBS settings. Never trust youtube tutorials, because they may not have the exact same specs as you, and are more then likely not recording the same games. So what works for them may not work for you. Note that not every game is made the same so from time to time you will still have to play with the settings to get select games to record properly.

The answer to your question is stop being such a hipster.

I found OBS to be the biggest stinking pile of ♥♥♥♥ software I ever used.

There was another software I downloaded called D3Dgear that recorded at considerably higher resolution, no stuttering, for less of a performance hit than OBS. And I didn't have to configure a damn thing.

I was trying to record Grim Dawn, and I couldn't even get a 720p recording without stuttering in the video (none in the game). Also, half the damn games I tried to record in just gave me a black screen with OBS.

D3Dgear recorded 1080p/60fps with no stuttering, and no configurations. Really put into stark contrast how ♥♥♥♥♥♥ OBS software actually is. Every game always recorded with no issues.

Any software that requires too much tweaking to get the results you want, is ♥♥♥♥. There is always a better alternative. Sorry, but I'm not reading a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ book to learn how to use a recording software, I just want to hit record and record something, and for the recording to not be complete ♥♥♥♥. Either make the ♥♥♥♥ user friendly, or I won't waste my time.

You can't?

OBS is notorious for stuttering in videos. The reason it doesn't seem smooth is because it's not. The recordings have microstuttering. The only way I could eliminate the microstuttering in OBS was to leave the setting that dealt with resolution on "auto" (don't remember what configuration), but the video recordings with no stuttering were lower than 800x600 resolution. Barely even watchable.

Out of all the "free" recording software, including trials I found, OBS was by far the worst. Pretty much everything else gave better results with less configurations, and was more user friendly. I honestly think people are ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ trolling their asses off when they recommended OBS to anybody. It's the worst and hardest to use recording software I've seen. It's up there in the top 3 most user unfriendly software I've ever seen in my life. I can't knock OBS hard enough, it's that bad.

I'm old-school I guess, I still use Fraps. Videos prior to editing / compressing are huge, and it can be a serious drag on the CPU (I have a Haswell Core i5), but the videos come out looking the way they should.

No DX12-compatible version of Fraps yet unfortunately, though I hear one is being worked on.

If a video is rendered in 60fps, and the recorded material is only 50fps, yes, I can see the difference. There is the tiniest bit of stutter from where additional frames are inserted into the 50fps material during rendering to make the video a 60fps video. But between natively recorded / rendered 50fps and 60fps videos, no, I can't tell the difference.

He wasn't blaming your hardware, he was only pointing that out as a possibility since we didn't know what you had.

Mr. Gency is correct.
