Skyrim experiences frame drops inside when not using OBS on the secondary screen.
Skyrim experiences frame drops inside when not using OBS on the secondary screen.
Skryrim SE has presented me with several odd issues over the years. The most peculiar one involves frame drops inside my room when OBS isn’t active. That seems unusual, since I expect more rendering work to keep frame rates steady outdoors. My system specs are pretty solid: a 3900x, 2070 Super, X570 Taichi, 32GB NVMe SSD, and a 1TB Samsung Evo M.2. It should comfortably handle the game and other tasks. I remember streaming on Discord to friends and noticed frame drops only appeared when OBS was running. After some testing, I found that Skyrim performed well without OBS, but when OBS was on, it only worked properly in that environment. Recently, I upgraded my desk and installed a VESA mount, yet frame drops persisted even when using the secondary monitor. It’s not as severe without OBS, but it’s still noticeable. I’m not seeking a solution just yet—I’m more curious about what might be behind this strange behavior.
