Once you’ve run the auto-config tool, check that OBS is set up for your preferred audio device. This should include the settings for your recording, resolution, encoder, bitrate, and other settings. Run this tool to let OBS automatically check your system’s requirements and attempt to find the settings appropriate for your computer. If the Auto-Configuration Wizard tool doesn’t automatically pop up, you can find it in the Tools menu at the top of your screen.
OBS STUDIO NVENC SETTINGS 1080P
The only things I changed are the recording path and “Output (Scaled) Resolution” from 1080p to 4k.When you first open OBS Studio, you should be prompted to go through the auto-configuration process.

I made a new profile to reset the settings to default. I do not use hibernation, so I thought that using a swapfile would be fine. I haven’t yet tried this because I don’t really want to resize my partitions, but I am willing to try if anyone here thinks it’s worth a shot. In my search to fix this issue, I saw one person mention that using a swap file instead of a swap partition can cause issues with OBS. Timer = PowerMizer_Monitor_(GPU_0),Yes,1000 # Configuration file for nvidia-settings - the NVIDIA Settings utility # /home/elias/Documents/.nvidia-settings-rc I exported my nvidia-settings config to a temporary place (so it doesn’t overwrite the normal config): #

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet udev.log_priority=3" I also tried renaming the config file and then reinstalling grub with pamac reinstall grub to get the default grub config. I tried changing this to the following, but it didn’t help: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="efi=runtime quiet apparmor=1 security=apparmor udev.log_priority=3" When I setup the VM, I had updated the grub config ( /etc/default/grub) to use: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="efi=runtime quiet apparmor=1 security=apparmor udev.log_priority=3 amd_iommu=on iommu=pt video:vesafb=off video=efifb:on" I reset my BIOS settings to default (other than my memory’s XMP profile). I previously had single GPU VM passthrough set up, so I figured that could be causing this issue. This one actually caused my screen to go black and then return me to the login screen every couple of minutes.Setting “Output (Scaled) Resolution” to 1080p while keeping the “Base (Canvas) Resolution” at 4k.Using the “Indistinguishable Quality, Large File Size” recording quality.

Everything on my system is up to date with the stable branch and I restarted after updating. I am also recording to a PCIe4 SSD, so disk IO should not be a bottleneck. I know recording 4k 60hz is rather intensive, but NVENC shouldn’t have a problem with it. I think it’s worth noting that I have a 4k 144hz monitor and I’m recording a 4k 60hz video. When recording my desktop, about 25-50% of the frames are skipped, but if I try to record a game, then 99% of frames are skipped. dragging a window around the screen), I get a ton of “skipped frames due to encoding lag”. I am trying to record my screen with OBS using the NVENC encoder.
