You will need to ensure both OBS and your games are running on the discrete GPU.

The discrete GPU is the nVidia. You have a laptop, right? A semi-modern one. Which has a CPU that has an embedded GPU. Which essentially means your laptop has 2 GPUs. To fix the issue you need to make sure both the game and OBS are using the same GPU.

The best choice would be the nVidia, since that is easily the faster one. To accomplish this you could try disabling the embedded GPU (the Intel HD Graphics). Have a look at nVidia's control panel. I hear there are ways there to tell your system what GPU to use.

I've already done the settings in the nViDia control panel, but in my stream. black ops 2 doesnt show still.. and i noticed some frame drops as well.
