This is going to sound strange to 99% of users on here and I know that it seems ridiculous but I am trying to maintain 240fps while playing Overwatch at 1080p. I am very close to achieving this but I am around 20-30% away from it. I have been using NVENC encoding with my SLI 1080's configuration in combination with my i7-6700k. Recently I am using NDI plugin to stream my game capture to my streaming PC through my local network. But it seems OBS consumes enough resources to hold me back from constant 240fps even when I'm not encoding on my gaming PC. Is there anything else I can do to optimize my configuration? Would a CPU with more core solve my issue?
Here is a video of my encoding with NVENC at 80k bitrate and getting very close to a constant 240fps.
Here is my log.
