hey guys brand new here so sorry for my formatting or missing information

GOAL: i would like to stream to twitch using a 2 PC set up with OBS v23.0 and NDI at 720p60fps while playing at 144fps in my games

SETUP: i am currently trying to run a 2 pc set up, one for streaming and one for gaming.

The gaming PC has 2 monitors, one 60hz where my OBS/chat/twitch/youtube/w.e is on and the 144hz monitor where i game from but frequently alt tab from fullscreen.

The streaming pc has a 60hz monitor

all 3 monitors are 1920x1080

Problem: my streams do not look 60fps when i stream using NDI from my streaming PC however it looks okay when i stream and game on the same gaming rig.
All games look 40-50fps when using NDI
anthem and diablo look 60 fps when gaming and streaming from single pc however anthem does not run as well as id like to (70fps)
apex always looks 40-50fps regardless if i am on NDI or not

OBS SETTINGS:
Ive posted output and video settings from both of my pcs as attachments. i hope this helps or is useable

OBS LOGS: The apex ones seem the worse despite streaming with NDI or no NDI, Anthem and diablo3 streams very nicely from my single pc but it looks like 45-50fps when on NDI
