I have been using ShadowPlay for almost two years now, and i have always had to clip/ record with low settings to be able to clip something (mainly because my cpu is crap) but recently i have been having issue with frame skipping, it doesn't seem to be actual lag like i'm used to, its just the playback leaves out frames, (or skips them)
I have tried many solutions: Changing temp file, changing output file, lowering settings (no matter how low i go it doesn't have any affect on the skipping), i have lowered and increased the "mbps" slider that is in shadowplay's settings, and i have even lowered my game settings significantly. and yes, i have reinstalled shadowplay.
I think it may be a hardware issue, as i am due for an upgrade, but that doesn't explain with it used to work, and now no longer works.

I will provide a video link to show what happens under the "MY RIG" section

Is your hard drive for temp files and for actual save separate from your system drive? If not, then consider it may just be competition for the hard drive slowing things down.

If you are set to do 30Hz instead of faster it would also save a lot of hard drive bandwidth. If set faster consider whether you really need something like 60Hz. If you are actually recording at 1920x1080 (1080p) consider scaling to 1280x720 (720p). It is difficult for older hard drives to keep up with continuous long writes even if there is only a single process writing to the drive.

If the drive is a regular hard drive and not solid state, consider defragmenting the drive (it's bad to defrag a solid state drive).

i only have one hard drive (i has no moneys), and as for the 30Hz and 60-Hz im going to need more context to know what you are talking about

FYI, in the system maintenance part of the control panel (things depend on which O/S) you can find "properties" of a hard drive (think hard drive maintenance). If you drill down into that you should find a "defragment" tool.

Windows file system formats can cause pieces of files to be all over the hard disk, and an old style regular hard drive must physically seek across tracks and this takes time. If files are all contiguous and do not require extra seeks, then you get better performance. This isn't an issue with solid state drives, but you could defragment a regular drive under VFAT or NTFS file system types and possibly get better performance (the larger the file the more possibility for improvement).
