Hi there. I'm not alone on this issue, since one of my friends experiences it too.
Basically, while I'm streaming with OBS, after a random duration (usually after 30-45 minutes), sometimes Overwatch's FPS dips from 144 stable to a hard cap of 50 FPS and never recovers. Neither of us are sure why it happens. Restarting the game fixes it, but it's quite annoying having to do that every single time. It's really bad when it happens during a competitive match, since you're forced to play with potato FPS.
Is there any idea why this happens? My OBS settings are optimal and there's nothing wrong with it even while streaming. Game is smooth and I don't have any dropped frames or anything. It's just a weird occurrence that happens sometime down the line. Closing OBS does not fix it; I'm forced to restart Overwatch in order for it to be fixed. It happens strictly when OBS is being used.
For the most part, I have OBS set up to use NVENC, with a simple configuration. Thanks for your help.
