I would guess that would overload it ya.
I’d be using 12c/24t for OBS, with 4c/8t running whatever game I want to record. So my goal is just figuring out how high the recording settings can be with 12 cores.
Oh, what does the output file look like after the recording was completed?
Like can you upload it somewhere?
Got some good settings for you for 4K 60p which uses Intra-only encoding. A Ryzen 5 1600 should be able to keep up with this, so Threadripper shouldn’t have any problems:
Output Mode: Advanced
Type: Custom Output (FFmpeg)
Container Format: mov
Muxer Settings: bufsize=220000
Video Bitrate: 220000
Keyframe Interval: 1
Video Encoder: libx264
Video Encoder Settings: profile=high preset=superfast force-cfr tune=fastdecode psy=0
Audio bitrate: 2304
Audio Encoder: pcm_s24be
Do not change the Color Format from NV12 and do not change the process priority from Normal. Changing process priority to “High” will lag some games.
This should yield great results at 4K 60p on anything like a Ryzen 5 1600 and up. Coffee Lake will also have no problems with these settings.

Thanks, I’ll look into it
If you have anything with a lot of motion or detail and motion together, you may want to up the bitrate and bufsize to 300000. But if it’s just old school emulators, 220000 should be fine.

…If you do have Threadripper and NVMe though, I wish someone can test libx264rgb with nearly these same settings (minus profile=high, with Color Format in the Advanced tab set to RGB, the Color Range in the Advanced tab set to full, and with bitrate and bufsize set to 600000) and report back. Ryzen 5 1600 would choke on this, and even an overclocked 1700 would choke on it, cause its RGB colorspace.
If you prefer the previous formatting for those settings:
4K 60p 4:4:4 RGB libx264 Intra frame only:
