❔ Question Best OBS settings for recording gameplay + VSeeFace on a Lenovo Legion 5 laptop?
Post Body:
Hi everyone,
I'm trying to record Let's Play videos on my Lenovo Legion 5 gaming laptop, but I'm running into some lag/performance drops.
My setup requires me to run three resource-heavy apps at the same time:
- The game itself
- VSeeFace (v1.13 for VTuber avatar tracking)
- OBS Studio (to record the video)
I was using my small HP to project and extend the screen so the game was displaying on the HP and i was playing through OBS and monitoring it at the same time, but im unsure i can continue to do that.
Now I'm currently using the NVIDIA NVENC H.264 encoder. Are there specific OBS canvas settings, downscaling tweaks, or VSeeFace tracking optimization settings I should use to lower the load on my laptop and get a smooth 60fps recording?
Thanks for any advice!
