Why: recording VR screen for videos
Where: asseto corse competizione (very badly optimized game especially in VR.

my old PC had a1080ti gpu and a 6800 cpu 3.5 or 3.6 ghz I can’t remember. I kept the game on medium settings but wasn’t happy with it however it recorded decently. Using the GPU in obs.

Newer pc has a 2080ti and a amd 3950 overclocked to 4.2 - 4.3 on all cores. I have the settings in game turned up a “little more” (still feels low for the gpu being a 2080ti) still not max but I do notice gpu seems to run at 100% I recorded as normal the other day and the recording, upon review, after was pretty much unwatchable or at least not good enough at a min standard. First few sec frame rate was good and then it was super choppy for the rest of the hour and a half video (thought it was premier pro at first).

would it make sense to use the cpu for the encoding. I believe the game only uses cpu when you add a high amount of AI drivers or maybe even do a full race lobby online.

During my original recording I had non of either.

The 2080 has a Turing NVENC encoder. There is no reason not to use it. If you get any GPU overload recording with it, you can turn off two optional features, lookahead and psycho visual tuning-- they are the only two that introduce any GPU load when using the NVENC-NEW encoder.
