Want to record gameplay without losing FPS in 2025? Whether you’re streaming or creating content for YouTube, it’s crucial to capture smooth video without affecting your in-game performance. Here’s how to do it.
🧰 Use the Right Software
✅ 1. OBS Studio (Free & Lightweight)
OBS is the gold standard for game recording. Configure it properly:
- Output → Encoder: NVENC (new) for NVIDIA users
- Set FPS to match your game (30 or 60)
- Use CBR bitrate for consistent quality
✅ 2. NVIDIA ShadowPlay
If you have a GeForce GPU, ShadowPlay allows you to record without FPS loss by offloading processing to the GPU. It’s seamless and works in the background.
🖥️ Optimize Your Settings
To record gameplay without losing FPS, adjust the following:
- Lower recording resolution to 1080p if you’re gaming at 1440p or 4K
- Use hardware encoding (NVENC or AMD VCE)
- Set the game to fullscreen mode
- Reduce background processes
Par ailleurs, ensure your storage drive is SSD for faster write speeds.
⚙️ Upgrade If Needed
Sometimes, your PC may be the bottleneck. Consider upgrading:
- Add more RAM (16GB is a sweet spot)
- Use a dedicated GPU with hardware encoder
- Install your games and recording software on an SSD
