This worked perfectly, so I'm now able to record gameplay with minimum lag. Thank you very much :)

Sorry, but bitrate has absolutely nothing to do with your wifi or internet speed - it's the rate at which you are sending information to the encoder... and it impacts cpu usage mostly, although with NVENC encoder it's quite minimal with anything bellow 100k

for 1440p 60k should be perfectly fine - it's better to aim higher than you need if you can handle the encoding while gaming, and then render for youtube at whatever bitrate you want

thank you brother, my fps while recording minecraft went from 5 to 40! even after 7 months this video is still helpful! thank you!

GUYS be sure to do what I think is not mentioned here, which is to ensure your recording format (found in output) is on mpv! Wanna know why? because if your file corrupts, like computer loses power or whatever, you will still have recording up to that point. Lost mine, was apparently using mp4 ... Changed to MPV. DO IT.

This Video Is Outdated I made a new video here:

even im year late its still good but there is one thing that if you have blurry text and stuff go to output -- Rescale Output --- then put it sharpened scales.

Thank you so much! now i can finally record my video in really good frames, the quality was good but the frames were the problem, they made the editing much harder and the gameplay too, new sub and like

This may have been a year ago and still works but you DO NOT understand how much this tutorial helps me. Being a new content creator having these settings really helps capture the best gameplay/highest quality clips for my viewers. I can confirm that this method does work, you just earned a new sub!

The version is 30.2.3 now but this video is still relevant and helped me smooth out the lag. I have OBS options set to check for updates every time I start it but for some reason it hasn't been prompting me to update it, I was using version 27 something before upgrading today. This video caused me to look for an update manually. Thanks! 10/10

I NEED TO TRY THIS OUT- and I have a feeling it works, thank you so much for being specific of where you have to go in the settings besides those other youtubers that are so complex with obs

[djSpinege]

why would you need good internet for recording? isn't the bit-rate to due with recording resolution in this case?

[Bruc_eTheBear]

No feeling more satisfying than watching a tech help video that actually solves your problem

[BloxyBwEditz]

THIS MAN LEGIT SAVED MY LIFE😅 U JUST EARNED UR SELF A SUB

[Hltselecting]

When I play the game it is smooth but when I watch it back it lags, also instead of the nvidia card can you use the quick sync h.264

[ElektrikMCYT]

This really improved my obs when recording. Thank you so much for the vids

[ArchEye_]

Man ive been having the issue of laggy videos for over 3 years whilst not being able to fix it. your video is the only video that has helped me! thanks

[beriseo]

[tabzwera]
