Question / Help Question about OBS and Nvidia shadowplay

[nightcodex]

Hello everyone, My name is nightcodex and i have a general question which maybe solves alot of things for me if someone is able to reply correctly on this.

So basically i livestream ofcourse and im wondering.
Why is it that streaming with obs gives much more FPS drops then streaming with Nvidia?

So heres the thing i will upload some information below about my pc specs and obs streaming setup first take a look at it please.

Now im wondering why is it that streaming with this setup gives me 50-60 fps on league, but streaming other games like killing floor 2 gives me like 30-40 fps,

Now heres my question , Why is it when i stream with Nvidia that i get no ingame lagg? I can stream smoothly and the stream also looks good quality. What did i do wrong in the setups or what have i forgotten?

Its really helpfull if people were to add some extra tweaks into this i would be gratefull for that

Regards nightcodex

Shadowplay is hardware encoding on your GPU (NVENC), x264 uses your cpu.

Oh that clears up a big part, SO if i wanna use the shadowplay part on obs saying that i wanna use NVENC which is located at encoding in obs , What should i change in settings? Or do i have to change nothing rather then just checking the box Nvidia NVENC? because my CPU is not the best so its probaly best to run it through my GPU right?

I'm pretty sure OBS has the option to use Nvidia encoding instead of x264 in its options try that
