Hello all you good people, I hope you are well!
The reason i am posting this question is after reading through the forum, and googling everywhere i cant really seem to find the answer.
The reason i want to check the quality on fullscreen preview is this.
I used to clone my desktop to my HD60S, but i often felt there was something wrong, as if there was lag in game (input or otherwise) which i just could not get rid of, but more recently i started playing sea of thieves with friends and my game was capped at 59/60 FPS constantly, and the game felt horrible and even looked pretty laggy, after some googling i found that setting HD60S as another monitor in windows, opening OBS on gaming pc and just doing a fullscreen preview to the HD60S fixed this (which it indeed did), i do worry that the quality on the preview isnt 100%.
While OBS is running on my gaming pc, it uses 0.5% CPU, barely any RAM and average time to render a frame sits around 0.3MS, great! but the quality in the preview doesnt seem AS good as when i did the cloning of my main display, but cloning creates input lag.....
Using passthrough
Though this may be the obvious solution to everything, unfortunately i game on a 1080P 144hz monitor, and the Elgato HD60S cannot support that refresh rate when using passthrough, so im forced to either clone the display, or use the preview "trick".
I have tried everything i can think of, and i really hope someone can help me with this.
I appreciate your time in reading this, thank you.
Kind regards
