The games I use while recording with obs on a second monitor experience slower frame rates.
Hello! Your issue involves noticeable FPS drops when recording on Obs Studio. The problem seems linked to the monitor settings—your primary monitor runs at 165Hz while the second monitor is at 60Hz, which can cause inconsistencies. Also, lag appears when stopping recording. Your hardware specs are solid (TX 3070, Ryzen 5 5600X, 16GB RAM). The log file you shared might contain more details. Let me know if you need further guidance!
as mentioned before, running multiple programs at once drains resources. this may lead to lag and dropped frames, even while just browsing youtube. that’s why many people opt for smaller, less expensive rigs just to play games on their main computer. if the performance problems are severe, consider upgrading to a different setup.
It appears the simplest approach would be to consistently play and stream from the main screen whenever possible, avoiding any disruptions.
OBS runs more frequently than Nvidia Shadowplay because it handles tasks efficiently. In my view, Shadowplay consumes far fewer resources. Using a second monitor with a different refresh rate introduces many complications, making OBS less useful. You rarely see clear evidence of recording or streaming without one, unlike Shadowplay which clearly shows its status through on-screen icons.
I believe you're not grasping the point. I run games on my primary screen while streaming the main one on a second monitor using Obs. This setup lets me check the visuals in real time.
