I'm working on getting my stream ready, but I'm running into some problems. I'm using nvenc for better frame rates in-game, yet my stream's FPS drops to just 20 on desktop and in CS:GO. On the other hand, I see solid 60+ FPS in games like League of Legends, DayZ, and CSGO. Could anyone help explain what might be causing this difference?

To be clear, with x264 encoder (the default in OBS) I see 30+ frames per second in games, whereas on the desktop it drops to around 15.

The details are listed on your profile. Switching to standard x264 encoding didn’t improve the output speed from 20 fps to 60 fps.

Another update, when I opt for game capture rather than monitor capture, I see 60 fps in the games.
