I’ve also made sure I set my source to record game capture instead of display capture, and play the game in full screen. I find that Nvidia Shadowplay offers a much better output with a lot less lag than recording through OBS.įirstly, on OBS I have the following settings:įormat: mkv Encoder: NVIDIA HVENC Rate control: CQP CQ Level: 14 Key frame interval: 2 Preset: Max Quality Profile: Main GPU: 2 Max B-frames

Unfortunately, I don’t have a dedicated streaming/recording PC, so I record from the same PC I play from. I've been trying for an hour or so, but if it's possible it's beyond my extremely basic understanding of Cheat engine.I’ve been recording some Warzone clips on my PC. I need to know if Shadowplay can be edited to record at 240 FPS in the same way OBS can. At 60FPS it uses 0.2% of my precious precious CPU. Overwatch is a CPU hog, there are only a handful of CPUs which can get 240+ FPS in it. If I record at 240 FPS it takes up a significant ~10% of my 7700k.ġ0% of my CPU happens to be enough that I dip below 240 FPS in Overwatch teamfights. If I record at 120 FPS it's double that, or about 5%. Even using NVENC encoding, OBS uses a decent amount of CPU to record at even 60 FPS. And it remains at 240 until you change it, so you don't have to fuck around with Cheat Engine each time you start up OBS.

OBS does flawless 240 FPS NVENC recordings once you do that. For posterity who may be viewing this thread after Googling 'record gameplay 240 fps', you only have to edit the input number from whatever you have it at currently to 240, freeze it, and press enter in OBS. On a lark I decided to memory edit OBS's framerate input field (which normally only lets you put in values up to 120) using Cheat Engine, and surprisingly enough it did work. OBS can record 120 FPS gameplay footage (and with NVENC, for lower CPU usage!), but that's only half of 240, you see. I would link one, but this forum doesn't let new accounts post links.Īnyway, I did some Googling, found lots of other people with this desire. For those with 120hz+ monitors they look very cool. I have a 240hz monitor and it's nice to have 240FPS game demos to review. Today I've been trying to figure out the best way to record 240FPS gameplay footage.
