Question / Help Dropped Frames even without recording or streaming

[Chris David]

I am having an issue where i am getting dropped frames only playing Rainbow 6. I get this while not recording or streaming either. Ive looked and tried everything. I am getting well into 200 FPS in game but barely get 35-45 in OBS. Oh and im running a 1440 monitor

Sounds like your GPU is overloaded. Limit the in-game fps either by enabling vsync or some other kind of fps limiter so your GPU usage doesn't hit 100%. OBS requires some GPU time too and if the game uses all of it, OBS will struggle to maintain fps.

Also don't mix dropped frames with fps drops, those are 2 different things. 48 fps is a bit weird too. You should stick to 30fps or 60fps

I hit 48 just for that test it was at 60. and i will definitely try that.

That worked. Thank you. I figured with a 1080ti that would be a non issue.

Why would a fast GPU help to avoid a GPU bottleneck in any way, when you play without fps limit in the game?
Without such a limit, your system will try to push as many fps as possible, so one component will run maxed out and become a bottleneck.
With high IPC and Clock rate CPUs (like your 8700k), it's pretty easy to fully utilize a GTX 1080TI, especially with 1440p or higher resolutions.
