to anyone who may be interested i fixed the issue it was stupidly simple...
it was the fact i had the areo theme on + i was streaming using monitor capture, both together killed my frame rate, using game capture in OBS sorted all the problems out and disabling aero gave it another performance boost.



HI i recently setup a stream, first i will give you the issue, something is making my game lag? im not sure if that is the right word? its almost as if i have low FPS but i manage a steady 150+ this only happens while streaming and unfortunately i play like a dead weight with this "lag" :P on the viewers side everything looks smooth and fine but from my end i get this issue.

PC (not crazy good but good enough i think)

I5 2500k overclocked to 3.7ghz

4gb ram 1600mhz

asus P8Z68-V MOBO

EVGA GTX 560TI

my internet connection is lacking 60mb down, only 2.5 up

OBS settings (again not crazy good but i think good enough)

Max bitrate 1500mb/s same for the buffer

streaming at 720p 30FPS

all other settings would basically be at default.

Any help with this would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

I took another look and it would seem my CPU almost maxes out i am assuming this is the problem, clearly there is not much i can do to fix this but any advice on how to lower CPU usage would be helpful.
