I have been using IR(instant replay) for years now and have been able to record 1080p 60 fps, without a single hiccup or issue(on demanding games as well such as Cyberpunk 2077, Dying Light 2, Valorant, CoD, Battlefield). recently within the last two months or so, my videos have been coming out HORRIBLE. When I check the details of my recordings they are all running solid frames (30-50fps) and bit rate ranging from (7k - 25k).
Things I've tried to fix it:
-Restart PC
-reset settings to default
-turn off all things that would automatically adjust fps
-lowered in-game settings
-reset RAM frequency
When I put the Recording Resolution on anything above 720p - 30 fps, the clips get thrown into a blender. I understand this can be a hardware issue, but if I was originally recording fine for so long, why now does my hardware matter?(if this is the case)
If it is hardware, what component/part would I need to upgrade to fix this, or would a capture card work just fine (Elgato etc..).
