FPS drops on videos? (Patreon)

Just did a test to see how much framerate differs with and without screen recording on my PC and it really is quite significant.

60-61 FPS without screen recording

30-38 FPS on a same scene with screen recording (Streamlabs OBS, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 950M)

My PC (notebook) does also seem to overheat solely when I'm recording videos for Patreon - this does not ever happen when I'm testing PB2.5/3 for multiple hours straight otherwise.

It is not really an issue of screen recorder or game itself - just a something to take into account with footage videos I post. My current PC isn't new and I'll likely won't have access to a better one for a while.

Hey Eric! Sorry for the late response, I usually start checking for new posts near the end of the month. To be fair I think your computer is incredibly outdated right now. I'm not a computer expert but if your computer is slowing down when you record with OBS it may be time to look into a better GPU. Then again most of what you listed is no longer common to see in an average computer today. Since you said that may not be possible to look for an upgrade anytime soon I think it would be best if you first did some cleaning up digitally on the computer. Getting rid of junk files cleaning up hard drives etc. Considering that the computer is old you probably have a lot of junk files you may not be aware of. Simply cleaning up the pc could already help with performance but not by a crazy amount. I also noticed you said you use Streamlabs OBS? I use OBS for recording and only recording. I only swapped over to Streamlabs as I did streaming for a short while 1 - 2 years ago. If you only use Streamlabs to record and nothing else I suggest you swap over to OBS and take a look at the settings you run. In my experience, I've found performance to fall when I record with overly high settings that my GPU/PC can't handle. It may be best to lower your recording settings to lower the load on your PC. Remember that your current computer is no longer what standard computers are now. It's old but functional. I also notice that you use an editing program as you have text and cuts in your videos. That also means you render videos which can be quite resource intensive with an old computer. I'd love to explain the details but I'm purely speaking of things I noticed when my computer was old and started to get outdated. I've also learned a lot throughout the years from my brother in tech but once again. I only know today's standards. For the past few years, Computers have seen drastic improvements to the point that standards are a lot higher even. What was high-end and common back in 2010-2013 is now low-end and maybe even outdated in 2023. Most game's minimum requirements are even higher than what they were before and that is mostly because of the advancements seen in computer hardware in the last decade. Might be worth doing research into this to learn more but I do believe it may be time to upgrade the computer. Hope I helped out!

This isn't monthly report though yet, just decided to share what I figured out. There really are like few applications that I use for work on this PC. Not much else at all, reinstalled OS few times too. I have tried using OBS before - Streamlabs OBS really does perform much better in my case. Tried different encoding settings and still not much improvement. I guess screen resolution could be decreased, but not sure if that would be nice. Video editing is done after recording so this one is not an issue really. This PC might be outdated but according to twitter poll there is at least 30% of players who have even weaker devices. I think I'll try to keep using it for development just because some players might not even have something like this - it usually is really easy for me to add so much into the game to the point it will not be possible to optimize it without removing nice features.

Yeah fully understandable. Considering that you have done everything suggested, might just be your computer finally showing its age. I doubt it's a big concern as it only affects recording not everything else. As for PB. I don't think you need to worry too much about optimization. Once again not an expert but considering that you can run the game fine. I doubt people with higher-end computers will struggle. I think your computer will be fine during the development stage. Probably after it so no need for concern just dropping my thoughts on the topic.
