So I just installed dual setup for my stream. My primary monitor on which I'm gaming is going through HDMI cable and its in 1080p while secondary is going through VGA in 1440x900 and doesnt have HDMI.

This is my problem. In OBS I need to select "Monitor 2" even though it's primary monitor in nvidia settings and after doing that and adding "Monitor Capture" I get this blurry image everytime :(

Everything is fine with my GPU and CPU, monitor aswel. Just wondering is there way to solve this ? Thanks.

P.S I can run Game Capture fine but I just dont like that and game is shuttering for some weird reasons even though its on 60fps constantly.

Wow..I'm asking for solution and suggestion about first problem. I dont want to disable preview rofl. Why would I even do that when with previous versions worked fine.

I made screenshot now I need help. If you cant help me please avoid my thread.

yes and i said disable the prview on obs instead of bitching you could have tested it... takes you not even two minutes.

since you said you had problems when you tried using game capture

Please post a log file, this could be caused by a few things and we kind of need to see what's happening on the back end.

Not sure what Alpinlol is talking about with disabling the preview... it shouldn't use more than 1% GPU and no CPU at all; it's really a non-issue.
its not about the cpu usage its about a sluggish ingame feeling with some games when you have the preview enabled it feels kind of laggy even though you have stable 150+ fps and this also happens most of the time when you are running obs on a 2nd monitor obviously this problem does not happen to everyone

Try going into Monitor capture settings and press Ok, this sometimes forces the monitor capture to "reset" and show the correct image.
