Hey so I am hoping someone here can help me out as this has been driving me crazy.
Anyways I am trying to setup OBS to stream to Twitch and have looked at practically every guide I could find, no matter what settings I have tried I can't even get 30fps on my desktop with nothing but chrome and OBS running. Frames missed due to rendering lag hovers at an unhealthy 15-60%, even though the CPU usage is below 5% and the GPU and RAM are nowhere near maxed out. Not to mention I can run most games at High to Ultra settings with a steady 60+ fps. 1080p monitor, only trying to stream 720p @ 30fps.
PC Specs:
GTX 970
16GB RAM
i7 2700K overclocked to 4600MHz
Windows 7
It seems really weird to me because I have many friends with worse pcs who can record/stream better than this.
Let me know if you need anything else. Here's hoping it is a simple fix that I just overlooked!
Edit: I also have made sure my drivers are up to date, and I even reinstalled OBS before this last log.
Update: Seems that disabling Aero has fixed the issue, for now at least. Totally called that it would be something simple and dumb.
