Question / Help Dota 2 FPS Drop

Hello,

I really do like to stream while I'm playing dota 2. I'm studying abroad therefore I don't have desktop computer but I have a good gaming laptop. My laptop model is ASUS Rog G751JY. When I'm playing Dota 2 without stream I'm getting ~120 fps. However, when I starting stream its dropping to 80 ( in combats its dropping 50). Well its actually really important situation for me. because I can easily feel the differences between 120 and 80. I didn't write my specs because I already gave my laptop brand. So What you guys suggest me to do. I want to share my obs settings with you but I don't how to do. Can you tell me how to share my obs settings ? I set fps 30. I also decrease the bit rate to 1800 kbps ( my upload speed 90 Mbps :P). But it didn't work. I realized that my laptop is warming so much when I streaming but its not warming when I'm only playing. So basically the problem should be about cpu/gpu usage...

Enable vsync in Dota 2 and see if that helps. If not, check the stickies at the top of the forum for instructions on how to post a log file.

So I don't want to open vsync because I got this laptop to play dota 2 with good settings and you know vsync sets dota 2 to 60 fps. I don't want to play in 60 fps

I'm also using 2 webcam. One of them for my face the other for my hands keyboard and mouse. Both of them set 720p. But I don't think they are the reason of my fps drop because I was not using the second webcam 1 week ago and the problem was still continuing.

Please don't ask for help and then refuse to test.

Letting Dota 2 run with no frame limit is likely maxing out your laptop -- i.e. it renders as many frames as possible until the CPU or GPU hits 100% usage or you hit 300 FPS, whichever comes first. Combine that with trying to stream at 1080p and you have a recipe for terrible performance. Guess how you might fix it.

If you're maxing out your CPU or GPU as a result of refusing to limit your in-game frame rate then OBS will likely choke regardless of your settings.

So basically I opened vsync but it didnt fix it. I'm streaming right now and I saw 40 fps unfortunatelly and the game was so laggy because of the fps drop.
