Question / Help overwatch

[imSky]

when I'm trying to record overwatch, the fps in OBS Studio will drop if i don't have enabled VSync. I don't understand why. Let me explain.

Usually, overwatch stays up to 100 fps. but if there are 60+fps in overwatch, the fps in obs studio ( http://prntscr.com/ffrken ) will constantly drop to ~35-50.
The thing is, I can't let the VSync on! When I record with a friend on skype/discord/team speak for some reason if Overwatch has VSync on I will have lag spikes.

My specs :
Intel Core i7-4790 @ 3.60GHz
ASRock B85M-DGS
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970, GTX 970 4GD5T OC, 4GB GDDR5, 256bit
RAM : 12GB

I don't use display capture. I use game capture.

Then why do you have a display capture source in your scene?

You need to enable vsync or use the in-game FPS limiter. Running without an FPS cap is going to mess with your overall performance because your GPU will max out. If the problem still happens then post a current log file.

I used it for something personal, then I opened overwatch. I do not use display capture. But, just because I was curious, i just tried to see if in display capture obs does the same thing. Apparently, it does. Pretty weird.

Thank you for clarifying this for me. I will use VSync when needed. But it's weird, because in normal OBS, I don't have any sort of problems like this. I want to use OBS Studio because of the ability to use microphone filter.
The problem doesn't happen anymore, but the quality of the video is pretty bad. I used auto-configuration wizard.

Can anyone help me with some settings and recommendations? Thank you so much.

Disable game mode in windows' settings.

Disable game mode in windows' settings.

that kind of worked. I disabled the game mode ( http://prntscr.com/ffu0b1 ) and tried again.
Turned off the VSync in Overwatch and now when I'm recording, the OBS Studio's fps are almost staying still at 60. But still, sometimes they are dropping to !57-59.
