Drivers & Software

All AMD GPU drivers that allow for a higher recording Bitrate than 50Mbps cause stuttering recorded videos.

The last driver released that does not cause stutter was 17.7.1 which has a maximum recording bitrate of 50Mbps.

Every driver since then has had a maximum recording bitrate of 100Mbps which causes stuttering recorded videos no matter what you set the Bitrate to. Even less then 10Mbps recordings have the same issue.

This problem affects multiple AMD users as multiple reports have been made here, perhaps all AMD users affected.

So I finally found the problem. Relive records at 60hz and my monitor is 59.94hz by default (set by windows). How do I know this? Well I tested capturing at 60fps with OBS using software encoder and it had the exact same issue. It would stutter every 15 seconds. In OBS you can capture at 59.94 though, so I tested this and was buttery smooth.

I have created a custom resolution in Radeon Settings and changed my monitors G.Refresh Rate to 60.001 (unable to get exactly 60.000hz) and it is smooth capturing using relive at 3440x1440, 100mbps bitrate using the latest driver (18.3.4). After about 4 minutes though it eventually falls out of sync.

If possible we need to know the exact hz that Relive records at to overcome the hz mismatch between capturing and the screen refresh rate.

This post will get buried in this thread so I will create a new one here...

Relive capture produces stuttering videos due to difference between refresh rate and capture rate (5...
