OBS Not Recognizing HDMI OUT On Display Capture for Switch

Hi Everyone!

I have a triple monitor setup. With two LG monitors having two HDMI inputs and my third monitor having both an external VGA and HDMI input.

When I connect my OBS HDMI OUT to my monitor that's connected to my PC, OBS display capture only seems to recognize the inputof the PC and not the nintendo switch. (OBS does recognize all three monitors perfectly fine, but not the nintendo switch video output/input). The nintendo switch video outputs perfectly fine on the monitor that it's connected to but display capture seems to not recognize the switch display.

Is there something in my OBS settings I need to change or could it be my capture card? I'm currently using an HD60 S+.

Also, game capture does recognize my nintendo switch but due to frame drops, it's not a good source for me to use when playing compared to using another monitor to display video.

Looking for any suggestions!

You need to use "Video capture device", not display capture for capture cards.

There's another issue I come across once I do this and it's a consistent frame rate drop/lagg. I'm only looking to record with OBS and here are my current settings

I have a 3060 ti, 16 GB RAM, & AMD Ryzen 5 5600x 6 core

We'd need to see a logfile from a recording or streaming session at least 30 seconds in length where the issue was occurring to troubleshoot accurately.
