So I recently discovered that playing 144hz monitor and only having a capture card that is only capable of 60hz input(not 60fps related) will cause your Windows programs to lag really hard in normal desktop usage and window mode games when using clone mode in windows AMD/nVidia, does not matter its a bug in windows 10.
However i came across this thread on reddit about using VLC to capture your main screen, in my case my 144hz monitor and then do a playback on the capture card screen.

VLC is my personal number one tool for audio/video feedback, however when using VLC and this trick, my cpu usage on vlc jumps to around 12-15% usage, which is wayy too much.
So I started to look at OBS preview mode it self and it turns out it really works great if you do this setup.
144hz monitor
60hz capture card
using extended mode in windows, then doing obs-studio preview on 60hz capture card window and stream from your 2nd pc.
in my experience it only used like 2-3% !
HOWEVER.
The minute you go into fullscreen games like, rocket league,csgo and what else, its like the preview mode is getting down priority and only sends preview image like every 2-5fps which result in really unwatchable stream/recordings.
Now to it, can we have an option to leave preview mode fully functional without getting dimmed/drossled down when using other applications in fullscreen mode?
Now you might think, why does he not use an external splitter instead of all this mess.
Well for once
I'm using 144hz monitor and my capture card only allow 60hz input
I'm not going to sacrifice my 144hz gaming monitor for 60hz.
I actually bought an gefen active dvi 1:2 splitter but it turns out you cannot have same resolution and different hz when using splitters, at least what i know of? (if there's an adapter you can put on after the splitter to reduce the hz please let me know) I tried, dvi to hdmi, hdmi to dp, dp to dvi, with multiple none active adapters, no matter what the gefen splitter would send 144hz thru it and force my capture card to run 144hz at 960x1080p blinking and black screens, which is no good.
Eventually I will have to start do savings and buy the DATAPATH VISIONDVI-DL http://www.datapath.co.uk/video-capture-cards/vision-range/visiondvi-dl
which is capable of getting more than 144hz input? tho its soo expensive, and we are in 2016 there must be other capture cards out there that can handle 144hz input and above?
