Question / Help obs frames missed due to rendering lag

[VooDo0o]

hello ever since the last windows creator update my comp has been acting weird obs was working flawlessly before this update but now my gpu spins up to 99% load when playing games and my obs skips frames i give all the info hope someone will figure it out and solve my problems

Do you have a second pci-e card installed in your system or just your video card?

 

[VooDo0o]

just the video card

Then it's likely either improperly installed in its current slot or it's in the wrong slot. It should be running in pci-e x16 not x8

You said, your GPU hits up to 99% load....how is your ingame FPS limit set?
Without fps limit, one of your components becomes a bottleneck. If it's the GPU, you will get render lag, as OBS needs a few percent of the GPU resources.
Only a reasonable fps limit in the game (or a CPU bottleneck) can make sure the needed GPU resources are free for OBS.

Can you check GPU-Z again, when a game is running?
When there is no real GPU load active, GPU-Z might show PCI-E 2.0 X16 @ 4x or 8x.
If the GPU is not in energy save mode, you should see the Card running at PCI-E x16, if not, you should check your mainboard manual to see, which slot combinations will allow full x16 lanes.

GPU-Z will never show a reduced pci-e lane count under reduced load, only a reduced pci-e version.

Ah, my bad, I had the same confusion a year ago and stumbled upon the explanation of energy save mode, which was true at that time (GPU-Z changed PCI-E information, as soon, as I put some load on the GPU).
I guess I just confused PCI-E version and lane numbers then.

thx alot guys seems like harolds fix worked i change the card to another spot and that seems to fix it dunno why but what the hell it worked iam happy thx
