When you use this method:

Do you have any tearing on your stream?
When you duplicate your DVI 120Hz to HDMI 60 Hz (nVidia Control Panel) you have sometimes horizontal lines (tearing effect).
Is the OBS Preview on the extended screen stable 60 FPS without tearing on stream?

But well anyways. You still have to play the game on real fullscreen mode because of Windows 10 Bug.
And you have to use OBS for game capture method + preview. Which takes some CPU %.
Which shouldn't be a big deal to be honest, but still.
Not sure if the GPU duplication takes more resources than the OBS preview method.

Guess the ultimate solution would still be to have a 120 Hz Capture Card.

When you play on the 120 Hz Monitor in Windowed mode, while you watch a twitch stream or some other video on the 60 Hz Monitor, your 120 Hz falls down to 60-85 Hz. Jumping up and down. Sometimes it's stable on 60 Hz....

That would be impossible if you had setup displays correctly, ergo user error.

So basically when using Windows 10 you have to buy...
- 2x 120 Hz Monitors
- 120 Hz Capture Card
to be free like a bird..............

240hz here with 2x 60hz internal capture cards, with rigs that can handle it - it works. Tearing is a common misconception that is something that should be automatically removed when using multiple inputs of different timecode. Unless your hardware features this real time correction, you can't expect it to not have tearing. Practically all avernedia/elgato cards have some tearing when featuring high hz displays, no matter what rig u got. You *will* need a good quality capture card. If you're really anal about tearing, get a teranex setup and call it a day.

Hey guys, I'm having the same issue as the OP, with OBS's preview projection on the gaming PC lagging. It helps when it's minimized, but FPS still drops below 60 sometime. Using OBS Classic helps when projecting my main 144hz monitor to RAZER Ripsaw at 60hz, but it still looks choppy. Any ideas?
