Hi, I'm trying to record Minecraft videos. I have a decent computer, 8G of RAM, GPU is a Radeon R7 240 with 2G of GDDR5 RAM, but my CPU is a dual core AMD APU, which has graphics built into the chip set, which I am regretting a lot. I seem to have problems with CPU usage while playing and recording cause at minimum a skip in the recording. My recording settings are good. I found my max threshold to be about [email protected] relying on my AMD hardware for encoding rather than my CPU. I know the settings are good because I turned them all the way down to [email protected] and had the same problem with the recording skipping a beat every so often. It's not my RAM either. I have 4G allotted to Minecraft and it barely uses a G out of my 8G at most. So my question is, is there a way to make Minecraft not have spike of intense CPU usage. It show in my fps on my debug screen that they aren't constant. I do have optifine installed and I did set the setting to the most optimal including turning "smooth frame rate" to "on"
OBS needs to render and compress each frame as its recording, it lags a bit frequently while saving them. Its normal(if you only have a dual core CPU instead of one with multiple ones that OBS can take exclusively). Keep in mind Minecraft uses 4 threads currently(so it would run better with 4 cores(or 2 with hyperthreading or similar), OBS takes 1 or 2 more, plus any other program you might be running shares those. Now try to run all that in only 2 cores
