The software relies on older technology... I suggest using something that utilizes your GPU's hardware encoder for better performance. You'll notice a noticeable boost, I assure you! Note: it seems the update didn't include these features. Possibly the setup is off? — Edited Nov 27, 2015 by Ryan_Vickers
It seems your CPU isn't handling the game and encoding well, and overclocking won't make much difference since you need more threads.
ensure it's meant for local storage only (no live streaming) and plan edits afterward. invest in a dedicated recording drive, install nvenc, set bitrate to 10-15K for clean recordings with minimal fps drops. (note: *please* turn on vsync during recording to avoid visible artifacts. for reference, listen to lirik's stream—it uses gsync.)
Others suggested using the GPU, but Obs supports NVIDIA NVENC instead of x264. With the same CPU and a GTX 970, you only notice a drop of around 5 frames per second. What bit rate are you aiming to capture?
Rate? Think in kilobits or bits each second. Yeah, around 10,000 is common.
Check the recommended settings for your device and confirm whether the Action screen recorder uses a GPU.
