Bug Report [Request] Add caption text to [Game Capture]->Multi-adapter compatibility

[katko]

I'm trying a new 4K setup and I kept running into INSANE framerate problems in Windows 7 with a GTX 1060.

FINALLY after most of the day trying everything under the sun (thinking it was driver or monitor setup issue), I realized it was coming from OBS.

The simple problem that caused my >30 FPS to go down to ~5 FPS?

My [Game Capture] plugin was set to multi-adapter compatibility. I don't know if that was on by default, or somehow got clicked by accident.

But, AS IT IS, with no caption at all, it implies there's no harm or warnings or danger in using it.

If I were you guys, I'd even put a WARNING text next to the button in red that says "Don't use unless necessary." or "Reduces performance."

Thank you.

Multi-adapter compatibility copies frames to your memory. That means it is a lot slower.

First, uncheck Multi-adapter compatibility. For recording, make sure OBS is running on the same GPU as your game. If you are getting a black screen, go into your NVIDIA control panel and change the GPU that OBS uses to the "High-performance NVIDIA processor." Then, restart OBS and your game and you should have no FPS drops.
