These are the guidelines for streaming on YouTube/Twitch. Recording has a much higher threshold for cleaner frames and isn't throttled by an audience's bandwidth in realtime. 1080p 60fps recommends max 30000 bitrate. 1440p 60fps recommends max bitrate of 60000.

I assume you're talking about something like Process Lasso. Well as I mentioned, it's an Intel i9-9900k so 8C/16T. Unsure of which of those are logical cores. As for the monitor, it's mentioned up above. It's 120Hz.

I've never seen the CRF option before as most usually recommend Lossless or CBR. Capping the FPS at 70 along with CRF set how you have it seems to have done the trick. Thank you!

I tried out swapping to x264 and reducing bitrate from 60,000 to 45,000. Turns out, that only made the stuttering much worse. I have MSI Afterburner going on my monitor at all times to see performance. GPU is running at 100% when DCS is selected. It's running about 80% when deselected. I don't see an option to cap DCS framerate.

Yes. In the recording settings, I have NVENC enabled. Is swapping to x264 going to be the only option here? I figured that a 2080ti would be beefy enough to handle 1440x60 recording. Again, the OBS seems to work that way if it is the focused window without impact to the game itself.

So this is a specific issue I haven't seen anybody else have directly. First of all, the PC specs: Zotac Gaming RTX 2080ti 1.35GHz Intel i9-9900k 4.7GHz on Aorus Z390 ATX board 4x 8MB DDR4 3000MHz Win 10 64-bit Monitor Samsung C49RG9 49.0" 5120x1440 120 Hz Monitor on one DP 1.4 cable to GPU Storage: 1TB Samsung 970 EVO NVMe 4TB Samsung 860 QVO Recording with OBS When I am recording DCS through OBS, the game itself runs at about 40-80fps on pretty high settings. OBS, however, experiences a lot of stuttering as it encodes and it shows in the recording. Whenever I switch to OBS and make it the foreground application, it then records the game at 60fps with no issue. The game itself also maintains its same 40-80fps. Of course while flying, I cannot keep OBS as the prime window since the HOTAS no longer applies input to the game. EDIT: Also to note, this issue only began when I swapped out my monitor from 2x 60Hz 24" monitors to the single 120Hz 49" monitor. I figure somewhere either in OBS, Windows, or DCS there is an option to limit how much GPU power is being dedicated to DCS. Any help would be greatly appreciated here.
