Hello. I'm having screen tear when i stream and record on my streaming PC when i full screen project my game capture in OBS in my gaming PC to the streaming PC on OBS. I've been streaming and recording like this for 3 years but all of a sudden I'm getting screen tear on the streaming PC when i stream or record. When I use "NVIDIA NVENC H.264" i get screen tear but when i use "x264" I don't. I thought it was a GPU issue so i even bought a better GPU but still same issue. I also tried lower settings in OBS for the stream or recording still no help. Not sure what the issue is. Help would be much appreciated!

What is the refresh rate of the display you're outputting from your gaming pc to your streaming pc?

Just tested it out on 60hz and 120 hz and still there is screen tear in the recording and stream. Also to note there is no screen tear in the first couple of minutes (4-5 minutes) then it starts tearing.

Does the problem persist if you turn that down to 120hz or even 60hz?

This worked! Thank you

I tried to record and stream at the same time on the "NVIDIA H.264" but that would cause screen tear so i just stream on "x264" and record higher quality videos on "NVIDIA H.264" while streaming. Appreciate the help!!!
