Are you using Fullscreen capture on X11 or something? Thats a huge cap for some reason. From my experience with OBS nvenc with a window capture i only lose like 3-5% perf. GPU screen recorder is about 3% but the video from gpu-screen-recorder is having some weird frameskips for me which OBS doesn't + with OBS i can record multiple audio tracks. RTX 3080, 555.58 drivers, Ryzen 7 5800X3D, Arch Linux, MATE Desktop X11. Haven't tried 30.2 of OBS yet though. Have lots of videos on my channel most are recorded with OBS, some with gpu-screen-recorder
Great question buddy. So for OBS, 2 modes were used (The original mode was Full Screen Capture on X11). The new one was finished today using Game Capture with VkCapture. The document got updated to reflect the changes. Took longer because I needed to add the obs-gamecapture parameter to all games and test then again. Then I wrote down the results for each game after the same amount of time lapsed. Was hoping that for the hype VkCapture gets, I would have seen better or at least close results to the video quality of GPU Screen Recording, but I did not. In regards to audio issues or frameskips, the only one was GTA 5 that had that issue, but it was actually the game, not the recording, since when you get to 188 FPS the game engine goes crazy. For Audio, GPU Screen Recorder is NOT the best, unless you complement it with something like Easy Effects. At the audio level it is better to use OBS for sure. That trickles down to the next question about multiple audio tracks too. So the quality will never be the same when talking (input devices), because of missing things like noise cancelling (RNNOISE for example). So yes, if you are going to record but also talk, then OBS for sure, or GPU Screen Recorder + Easy Effects. For the percent drop, at least on this Intel 13900K with the 4090 I get drops that go from a 7% to an almost 50% when compared to the original game without any recording tools, versus a 0.3% to 10% when compared to GPU Screen Recorder. Is it the way OBS is coded, for sure. Do they need to check (Seriously check) the way it records on Linux, why yes. They also need to integrate vkcapture to the OBS app because this feels like buying a car and the tires and sold separately. Lastly doing recording with the Window Capture mode kills a lot of the video quality. For example GTA 5 would look REALLY pixelated even though the settings are for highest quality.
@@xtremelinux hmm stange..i never used the vkcapture just the window capture (xcomposite) which seems to work great for me at least, with very tiny perf drop(comparable to gpu-screen-recorder) and the quality is great also.
Interesting comparison!
Glad you think so!

gpu screen recorder can record multiple audio tracks, just untick the "merge audio tracks" button
Is there no Nvidia app or Geforce Experience for Linux users?
No. Only app from nvidia is nvidia settings.
