I'am really needing some help here I have had this problem for a while now and cannot figure it out.

What happens Is on the preview window of OBS at times It shows lag and stutter but I have no In game fps drops or anything nor any drops according to OBS, this happens without recording or streaming as well. I thought maybe this wont show on the output recording or stream but It does. This didn't happen before so why Is it happening now? I have tried a multitude of things even upgrading to windows 10 but no change. Please any help here?

hey bud. i dont know if you still need help, but try going into task manager and say you are streaming overwatch, right click overwatch then go to details then right click overwatch in the details page then go to set affinity. now i dont know how many cores will show up for you but try reducing the amount of cores the game is using so it reserves some for the obs, because if obs preview is showing frame drops then you are overloading somewhere. start from the highest number then go lower. play with it to see what results fit you. bare in mind tho the more cores you take from the game you will see massive fps drops so try not to take too many. you will have to do this with every game that wants to hog all your cpu cores. let me know how that goes.
