Question / Help 4k 60 fps nvenc problem / obs preview lag when game is focused

[Yasaka]

GTA5 has borderless window mode natively which allows for multitasking.



I get this on my end as well for a GTX 1060 6gig on select games that use all GPU horsepower, and I run the GPU in PCIe x16 3.0. When you put OBS on top it doesn't drop FPS (or what it's called lagged frames based on the log) even if the game in the background is using all of the GPU such as many Unreal Engine games. I'm thinking putting the window on top puts GPU priority on it which explains it. However, if you put OBS as 'always on top' there is no difference when you focus on the game.

yeah always on top dont work, because the game still has the main focus. i think this is a bug and i hope it get fixed soon. @OG See OH Zee on which os you tested this?

So how did you fix this? Turn off obs preview?
