Hi. I'm using obs to stream atm and I have been getting a lot of game lag when i play csgo. I have a MSI GeForce GTX 1060 x 3g and a GeForce GT 730. I went into my settings and realized that under my advanced settings, i was unable to select a video adapter. It's left blank. I'm starting to think that OBS is running off of my 1060 instead of my 730 like i intended. I can't find any online fix for it. Pls help! <3

OBS needs to download the frame information from your 1060 into your 730 in order to do scene composition in the way you want to do things.
That basically forces you to use the absolute least efficient capture method to capture the frames, greatly reducing performance there.

Additionally, unless you're on an x99 based motherboard, your system doesn't have the pci-e lanes to run your 1060 in x16 mode. That also reduces performance when gaming and streaming on the same system.
