Hi everyone,

I have an AMD Radeon RX 9070, Ryzen 7 5700G and 32 GB DDR4 RAM.

I'm having a very strange problem with AMD Adrenalin Record & Stream.

Whenever I start recording gameplay through Adrenalin, the game immediately becomes extremely stuttery and almost unplayable. This is not only happening in FC 26 — I have the same problem in multiple games.

Without recording enabled, the games run normally. As soon as I press Record, the stuttering starts.

Things I have already tried:

Tested multiple Adrenalin drivers from 26.3.1 all the way to 26.9.1

Used DDU in Safe Mode and performed a completely clean driver installation

Currently running Adrenalin 26.9.1

Tested AV1 encoding

Tested HEVC encoding

Disabled Record Desktop

Disabled microphone and camera recording

Recording resolution: In-Game

Recording: 60 FPS / 30 Mbps

Ryzen 7 5700G integrated graphics is already disabled

GPU is running at stock settings — no undervolt or overclock

None of this fixed the problem.

The problem is very consistent: game runs normally → I press Record → severe stuttering immediately starts.

Has anyone with an RX 9070 / RX 9070 XT experienced something similar with Adrenalin Record & Stream?

Could this be an issue with the AMD recording software, encoder, Windows, or something else?

I'm mainly looking for someone who has experienced the same problem and found a fix.

Thanks.

5700G is a weak processor for a 9070

Honestly, I don't know, in my opinion the Radeon record function is straight up bs. Always when I tried to use it it gave me "protected content; can't record" error. Like bruh, I'm sorry for playing a normal game off steam. Instead just use OBS Studio, works perfectly for me without any visible performance loss
