Hello everyone!

I started streaming this weekend but I encountered some problems : when I stream or register a game, capture is not fluid.
It's not a connection problem : I have 900Mb/s on download et 600mb/s in upload, and OBS tell that I don't drop any frames. And I precise that viewer have not loading problems, it's just that stream is not fluid like if I streamed at 20fps instead of 60fps
I don't know if it's because of my OBS configuration or my computer config (see picture). I streamed in 1080p60, but lower the resolution didn't change anything. Moreover, when I streamed and register at the same, my CPU and RAM don't seem to suffer, and my game continues to run at 100/120fps for me.

I precise that I play on 2K screen, idk if it can do something

Thank you in advance for your help!

ah another "rhytm" gamer ^^
looks like your card is overloaded with workload
idk if this is the same game or another but the otherwith similary issues menas gpu and vram more then free
but the game has 300+fps i have them never more readed after said limit fps thats 90% the issue the high framerate blocks all out and result in this overload

Thanks for your response !
After reading a little the link you have posted, I think I found the issue :

I play on a 144Hz monitor, and when I play a game like Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty with vertical sync activate, my framerate fluctuate between 100 and 130fps. Because I'm not constantly at 144fps, I imagine that my GPU work already a lot, and have not enough resources to provide OBS. After capping my fps at 60fps, the stream was perfectly fluid.
I imagine this is why having two PCs, one for playing and the other for streaming, it's the best setup for streaming, in any case when you stream with 144Hz monitor and went to play at more than 60fps

I'm just surprised that I can fluidly stream Clone Hero in 144fps whereas this is not a game which need a lot of resources and that I run it at 144fps constantly. I'm surprised that my GPU can assume running and streaming this kind of game at the same time.

Sorry in advance, I'm bad in English, do not hesitate if you don't understand something ^^"
