In this guide we’ll show you how to use your Elgato Game Capture HD60 S with OBS Studio and configure the software to get the most out of your device for recording or streaming. I guess my computer sucks? Shouldn't my hardware be capable of recording a video game? Do I need to purchase a second computer to make this work? Should I just give up on this? Absolutely nothing works with my setup. Additionally, my CPU and GPU utilization is nowhere near 100%, even when capturing at 4k, despite the recording quality being dismal. Even if I drop the resolution, there are still fps drops in the recording. I have tried every encoder available, just about every bitrate conceivable (from 250 - 1,000,000 Kbps), dropped the resolution to 1080p and removed the 4k 60 fps webcam, but absolutely nothing works.

I am currently trying to record in 4k at 60 fps with a 4k 60 fps webcam. I think I have pretty decent hardware that should enable me to record a video game, but I'm finding that it is nearly impossible to do so using OBS or any alternative free recording software. I've tried adjusting everything in settings, but nothing works. Forgive me if I come across as frustrated, but I've been trying to get this to work for about a month now.Įvery time I try to record something (I'm not even trying to stream), the recording quality is not very good and there are frequent FPS drops throughout the recording that are not seen during game play. I am trying to record a display capture using OBS, but no matter what I try to do, absolutely nothing seems to work.
