I recently Factory reset my PC and now obs studio is messing up. Before the reset everything was working fine with obs studio. No frame drops at all when I recorded and streamed csgo and GTA V. Now all of a sudden my frames drop from 60 to 40fps. Its weird because I changed the fps to 30 and it still dropped from from 30 to 25. I had to change the graphics settings in csgo from high to low and it still feels laggy when I play, even thou it was working fine before the reset. I don't understand why this is happening when I have a GTX 1080 and a i7 7700k. Other games like MC works fine but games like CSGO, GTA V and Random Six Seige frames drop tremendously. I don't know if I did something to my CPU or GPU lol Heeeeelp pls.

looking at your logs I saw this:

10:38:52.606: [NVENC encoder: 'recording_h264'] settings:
10:38:52.606: rate_control: CBR
10:38:52.606: bitrate: 40000
10:38:52.606: cqp: 0
10:38:52.606: keyint: 250
10:38:52.606: preset: default
10:38:52.606: profile: main
10:38:52.606: level: auto
10:38:52.606: width: 1280
10:38:52.606: height: 720
10:38:52.606: 2-pass: true
10:38:52.606: b-frames: 2
10:38:52.606: GPU: 0

This is very wrong, recording with NVENC at 40000??? recording at this kind of bitrate may be the reason for your game to lag...

Try this:
Set recording to x264 at 6000 or so (this for recording)
set stream output to x264 at 3500
key interval should be 2 (you were using 120 for some reason)
cpu usage: very fast
profile: main

also try to stream without recording and see if keep dropping FPS.
Also, how much CPU is OBS using ? How much CPU are your games using ? Try CRTL + ALT +DEL to see this.

Not sure about your problem here. But Bitsupers is clueless. NVENC does not add any demand on Graphics rendering and so can easily do over 40 000kbps with no fps loss what so ever.

Hey bitsuper, cheers for replying.

I only changed it to 40000 from a tutorial that I found on YT on how to record with obs. I tried playing Rainbow Six Seige with the settings that you gave me and it still has the same problem, fps dropping and that was from only recording not streaming. I finally got it to work on Seige when I changed the V sync in settings. Now everything is fine. As for GTA V and CSGO. It still has the same problems. Sucks that I have to change the graphics settings to low now when I've never had this problem before I reset my PC. I checked the performance for my CPU when record with csgo and it goes up to 90% lol. RIP

Output 'adv_stream': Number of lagged frames due to rendering lag/stalls: 6 (0.0%)


This is from your stream settings, that mean your x264 setting. it somehow hits the ceiling of your graphicscard. Maby your issues are that your FPS ingame arent capped at a maximum and so the computer give all resources to the game. That can explain why V-sync made it better.

If you get inputlag from V-Sync there is a nice tool from NVIDIA called "Nvidia Inspector" i believe, and there you can limit FPS in any game. Try and se if it helps.

Just tried BF1 and the same thing happened. I have to put on V sync just so the fps doesn't drop. The only downside about using V sync is that I can feel the mouse lag a bit. Its not that noticeable but you can just feel that slight delay when you move your mouse across the screen. Thanks for the help btw. I really don't wana use Nvidia inspector cause I just have a feeling that theirs something thats holding back my PC cause this has never happened to me before I factory reset it. Imma keep looking for a solution, if nothing else works then I'll have to use Nvidia inspector. Cheers for the help mate!

Did you update OBS or is it the same version? Ive noticed OBS behaving differently the last update. I have to elevate OBS in priority just so it takes enough juice from my system, your computer seem to do it the other way around.

This dont mean your stuff is faulty, to me it seem like its behaving as it should. Make sure to monitor your CPU usage, both in OBS the game and in total. if OBS is over 20% with those settings it might be an issue.

This is the latest version of OBS studio. Yeah, something must of happened when I reset my PC because when I check Task manager performance for my CPU its goes to 90% on CSGO and Rainbow Six Seige unless I enable V Sync in game settings it goes back down. The CPU usage on OBS doesn't go up that high thou. Prob around 10%.
