Alternative options for recording livesplit?

Hi there everybody, hope your all having a good Monday!

Is there ANY other way to record livesplit other than OBS? For my system it seems like no matter what I do I always get stuttering, even if I set obs and Doom to potato mode it still stutters. Primarily for recording gameplay I use the radeon relive built in software, which has been %100 reliable at recording literally everything. However relive is limited in its abilities, and I can't overlay liveplit on my recording with it.

So, if there is another recording option to overlay liveplit on a recording I would appreciate knowledge of its existence, cause I'm sick of messing around with obs when most of the support info is targeted towards streamers anyways. I know my system can record 1440p 60 fps gameplay 100 percent reliably, just not with obs.

-Thanks!

No idea what could make OBS do that for you if you can record videos with such good quality, but you can check the resources page on the site (under Streaming or Video capture software): https://www.speedrun.com/resources

Maybe something there can help you.

If radeon’s software performs better than OBS, then it sounds like you have a weak CPU and a strong GPU. I’m trying to rack my brain to remember if OBS allows you change what processes the video from your CPU to your GPU, and if there’s a setting that lets you do that, I would change that and see if it fixes your issue.

using streamlabs it allows me to use my gpu, (not regular obs, just streamlabs. more weirdness, I know) and the gpu does seem to work better than my cpu when using obs. However, after checking my radeon settings, it looks like relive was always using my cpu, and was 100 percent reliable. ??? Weirdness.

I've got a radeon RX 5700 XT for my gpu, and a Ryzen 7 3800x for my cpu. Along with 32 gigs of ram and ample cooling. It's a pretty fresh system.

even with my gpu for recording with obs I still get flickers of stutter. It's never 100 percent clean footage.

Studio allows you to use your GPU for encoding, im not sure what the option is called for Radeon cards but for my 2070 Super i have the option of selecting NVENC as an Encoder for Studio
