Yes, in fact the obs window/frame selection doesn't know whether you're streaming or recording.
If you didn't already, you should check what OBS is using to record. For me, it defaults to cpu H264 recording, which killed my fps with the 10600k.
If you have an nvidia gpu, select nvenc!
And I think OBS supports the Radeon stuff too by now?
With nvenc, you only take away a little bit of the max power and about 3% gpu performance.
I never notice it at all, brilliant
Same question but different: is this using the cpu or is it using nvenc?
I disabled all the game bar xbox etc stuff since I'm using OBS since a few years now.
Are you talking about Clip Champ or something else?
If you're using clip champ, you might run into a full C drive at some point.
Even though I deleted all projects in clip champ, it still kept all the copies of my source files somewhere in the AppData folder!
I'm using it to quickly cut my Kitesurf videos and send the snipes out to my Kite buddies.
6 minutes = 4 GB so my AppData was about 140 GB after 3 months...
