Hello i hope that you can help me with my problem.
I tried SO many things but even with a bitrate of 100, my OBS recordings fps drops.
Shadowplay was working great for me, only problem was the (not) constant bit rate.
fps drops does not occur in like chrome, but only in fortnite/minecraft (fullscreen games)
also i tried putting my frames per second down to 60, so now the gpu is about 70% and not 99.9%
i guess this might help:
