Question / Help Smooth Stream but Stutter FPS in game :/

Hello friends !

I'm actually streaming with a:


1) **CPU** : i7 7820x 3.6 GHz


2) **GPU** : 1080 TI


3) **RAM** : 32GB


4) I play on a **1440p/144fps** screen at 1440p resolution, scaling the stream to a resolution of **900p/60fps**.


5) Bitrate : 7300.

The problem is really simple :
I'm streaming Overwatch with a PC I would call "High-End PC". I'm streaming on NVENC encoder. But it would give me something like 3% of missed rendering frames on a 3 hours session, which is not a lot but still I would want to get closer to 0 with such a PC.


-->I tried X264 aka CPU encoder tonight. I had literally 0.1% missed frames due to rendering lag, meaning the stream was smooth as hell, **HOWEVER** the game was laggy during fights for me even if I tried on Very Fast preset.


So I was asking myself how can I reach that objective of streaming with a CPU encoder? It should be fine with a PC like this one :/.


Thanks so much guys for your time and help, have a good day / night!
 
Without any log files, it's hard to tell the reason for this problem.
Rendering lag is usually based on a missing fps limit in your game and therefore bottlenecking the GPU.
Most people have the issue the other way around, laggy stream but smooth gameplay, as Windows is prioritizing the GPU load for games, rather than OBS.
You can try again with with an FPS limit in your game, to prevent any GPU bottleneck. This will also free up some CPU resources.
 
This sounds more like the classic 144Hz Nvidia issue, what happens if you minimize OBS or put it on your main monitor or both?
