I am really new to all of this OBS stuff. I have it set up to where what is on my Xbox shows up on my computer. On the previews, it works exactly and there is no lag at all. When I start to stream however, I get a message at the bottom stating my encoder is overwhelmed and the video lags quite a bit. I want to know how to lower the settings so that when I am streaming there is no lag or fps drop. I already have it on ultrafast. I have Delgado pro 1080, I don’t use HD.
Question / Help Encoder problems!

How do I do this (sorry I’m new)
Sorry it took so long

You're trying to do CRF 0, 60fps streaming. Your machine cannot handle it.
16:56:47.267: Output 'simple_stream': Number of lagged frames due to rendering lag/stalls: 698 (29.0%)
16:56:47.268: [rtmp stream: 'simple_stream'] Freeing 1 remaining packets
16:56:47.281: Video stopped, number of skipped frames due to encoding lag: 1647/2359 (69.8%)
The top bold line means your GPU cannot render frames in time to be encoded. This indicates you need to choose a lower framerate or a lower frame size.
The bottom bold line means your CPU cannot encode frames in time to be streamed. Lowering the FPS will also help this, but you might also need to lower your quality setting. You're already on ultrafast so there's nothing more you can do there.
Harold will probably have a better suggestion.
