I'm running dual monitor one at 60hz and the other at 144hz.

The problem i am having is when i stream and OBS is open on my 60hz montior it lags well slight jitter on my 144hz i can tell it's starting to tear but once i minimize OBS the lag goes away and everything is fine, i have disabled the preview but still get the problem.

Anyone else having a similar issue?

Same Issue here. Dual Monitor 144hz / 60Hz. High Framerates in Games but choppy/jittery Gameplay when streaming. LOGS: https://gist.github.com/d9eec9ea741187f7cef1f01df320f1c6

This issues has nothing to do with obs by itself, it's a matter of proper configuring your system.
Windows is also notoriously bad at using different monitors. I use same type of monitor but different refresh rates, recently, and that works fine.

So to sort my issue i need to have both monitors at 144hz? it's an expensive test if so!

We both have very strong builds, we should not be struggling like this!

This is a Windows issue, the same thing will occur if you run a hardware accelerated video on your 60hz monitor.

DWM(Aero) V-syncs the entire desktop to ensure you don't get screen tearing in programs, when your refresh rates are different it v-syncs to the lowest. Your desktop is a DirectX object, with a frame buffer

You already solved the issue, keep OBS minimized so it doesn't have to Vsync it or get a second 144hz

Wow you know your stuff! is there anything i can do other than get another 144hz monitor or minimizing? as i use streamlabs OBS and it's good for alerts etc funds are tight right now that's all, appreciate the reply!

Was a solution found to this problem? I am currently having the same issues with a 144hz 1440p monitor and 60hz 1080p monitor.
