Dropping Frames Very Badly

I dont know what to do anymore. Last night I changed my bitrate to 7000 and I watched my VOD from last night and everything was smooth. Now today all of a sudden, I am losing frames on OBS itself really badly which in turn is affecting my stream. I tried changing servers, lowering my bitrate, lowering my resolution output, I'm not disconnecting and I restarted my router. I did a speed test and my upload speed is at 11.7mb which is more than enough to use 7k bitrate. I'm losing my frickin mind cuz it was fine just last niiiiight!!!

In all honesty, you have ALOT going on, in terms of scenes/sources
Could be a combination of FFMPEG issues or a bad font being used (and use of outlines in that font etc in a countdown or something)

I'd suggest testing with a clean empty profile / scene and test, to see if your 34% Rendering Lag subsides first.
Then add scenes 1 by 1.

Note the below also

1. Run OBS as Admin
2. Turn Game DVR off
2. 34% Rendering Lag = GPU overload // Cap ingame frame rates or use Vsync so you free up enough resources for OBS to encode
3. Seperate Game / Display capture into their own scenes, never have them in the same scene together
4. You only need to use 1 Game Capture scene , add that scene into each of your other scenes rather than separate game capture sources

Ok let me try all of that

I tried everything from removing sources and what not. I actively tried to avoid turning vsync on because I hate it, but sadly vsync being on fixed everything and that's with all my sources be put back in on 7000 bitrate. I guess the lesson here is that, if you're streaming of fyour graphics card, then vsync is kind of necessary...? T-T
 
Essentially bottom line is you need enough resources for your GPU to encode.
Turning Vsync off and NOT using a frame limiter allows your GPU to push 100% load thus not saving any overhead for OBS

You can turn off Vsync, just enable a frame rate limiter and set a framerate that your GPU can handle ingame which also doesn't push your GPU load to 100%
