Hi guys,
i have a strange problem with recording and streaming with OBS Studio. The problem started after windows 10 Anniversary Update, before that everything worked perfectly.
The output video (recorded and streamed) are lagging/chopping, it looks more like slideshow than a video in certain moments. It might be the encoder issue, but i've tried every 3 of them (x264, QuickSync x264 and NVENC) and the result is the same. Before windows update i was using NVENC and everything was just fine.

One more thing worth to mention: before uptade my game had like 55-60 fps while streaming and output video was fine. But now while recording or streaming my game can have >70 fps (i'm chopping it to 60 with v-sync) but the video is lagging. At this point i dont know how can i fix this and i really appreciate your help guys.

Here's sample video with this problem: https://www.twitch.tv/astaroth223/v/101090051?t=07m11s

checking the log your getting

20:54:59.291: Output 'adv_stream': Number of skipped frames due to encoding lag: 4605 (35.2%)
20:54:59.291: Output 'adv_stream': Number of lagged frames due to rendering lag/stalls: 3971 (30.3%)

I see also the res you are streaming at is 1704x960 drop this to 720p and re post the log. This 1704x960 isn't going to look great at 2500 bitrate and 720 or lower will look nicer.

When streaming due to the low bitrate using x264 software is the way to go, if you don't have the cpu power though nvnec as you are using now can be used with a quality drop.

i'll test that in a while.
I have some other concern:
20:41:41.448: warning: This encoder is deprecated, use 'h264_nvenc' instead
What about this? I'm always using the latest drivers.
