Question / Help Game doesnt feel smooth while streaming despite having same FPS as when not streaming.

[Relax_Pls]

So i recently started streaming and i notcie this weird Stutter or maybe another term but the ingame FPS are the same as off stream but the game feels more choppy and as smooth as when not using OBS, despite on stream everything looks fine and smooth.

i7 6700k, gtx 1070, using NVENC 6k bitrait 900p output and Max Quality.

You've got very small amounts of rendering/encoding lag in your log. That means that every once in a while, OBS wants to use the GPU for rendering or encoding and can't because it's busy. It might also be affecting your game performance, but from the logfile, only slightly.

But it's very little:

00:13:36.561: Output 'adv_stream': Number of lagged frames due to rendering lag/stalls: 159 (0.1%)
03:11:45.949: Output 'adv_stream': Number of lagged frames due to rendering lag/stalls: 1033 (0.2%)

23:36:23.935: Loaded scenes:
23:36:23.935: - scene 'Escena':
23:36:23.935: - source: 'Captura de pantalla' (monitor_capture)
23:36:23.935: - source: 'hunt showdown' (game_capture)
23:36:23.935: - source: 'Division 2' (game_capture)

You shouldn't mix display and game captures in the same scene, or have multiple game captures in a single scene; it is non-performant.

Do you know if a Freesync or hardware acceleration like Spotify or Discord can cause this unsmooth gameplay while streaming?
im using only 1 monitor.

Don't know as I don't use them. Discord overlay might if you're using it.

There is this list, though:

I dont know whats the reason of this i just noticed that you dont have even to stream only by having OBS oppened my game have this unsmooth feeling while playing and its frustrating because you cant get used to it.

OBS uses GPU resources to render even when not streaming or recording.

yes but what could couse this unsmooth gameplay feeling when the FPS are the same?

I would guess that FPS is actually lower, not being accurately reported, and that you are on the edge of the maximum capacity of your GPU.
