Hi

Like the title says, i'm having some issues in OBS that i have not encountered before while using the Intel platform, the problem being that when i'm trying to record any type of game i will get FPS dips in OBS, the game however will run just fine wont dip at all, this seems to only occur when i'm capturing a game, whether that be using the game capture or screen capture i will get the same result, just recording for example a cam wont do anything, any suggestions of what i could do/try?

What i have tried so far
Trying both X.264 (CPU) and H.264 (NVENC) - Same result
I have tried putting a higher priority on OBS - Same result
I have tried using only 2 cores for OBS and the rest for the game (including threads to total 4 for OBS) - Same result
I tried closing all unnecessary applications and just running OBS and a Game - Same result
I have tried older Nvidia drivers and I have tried older OBS versions - Same result

Old system specs
AsRock P67 Extreme 4
Intel i7 2600k @4,6Ghz
16GB DDR3 @1600Mhz
Gigabyte GTX970
850W PSU
SSD's & HDD's etc...

New system specs
Gigabyte Aorus X370 Gaming K5
AMD Ryzen 7 1700x @3,9Ghz (Stresstested and stable with temps not going above 65c)
16GB DDR4 @3000Mhz (2933)
Gigabyte GTX970
850W PSU
SSD's & HDD's etc...

Thanks in advance
Sebastian

Have you tried removing the Monitor Capture from your scene collection entirely? Remove it from all scenes, game capture the game and let me know what it does.

There was no difference as far as i could see, i have uploaded a sample displaying the FPS, and it clearly shows that the fps in the game is stable but OBS can't keep it recording at 60FPS for some reason.

I have the same issue, dude. I had before an Intel Core i7 4790 and stream was good. And recently I upgraded to Ryzen 5 1600. Game works perfectly fine, but stream looks choppy and laggy.

Code: 
20:12:30.781: Output 'adv_file_output': Total encoded frames: 10847
20:12:30.781: Output 'adv_file_output': Total drawn frames: 10848
20:12:30.781: Output 'adv_file_output': Number of lagged frames due to rendering lag/stalls: 324 (3.0%)

Looks like your GPU is almost completely used by the game. Try limiting the games FPS to your monitor refresh rate and if you have any 'Game Mode' stuff enabled turn it off.

As far as i know i have no game mode turned on, but i will check just to be sure, the FPS is limited to 60, and the problem occurs when i use X.264 as well, but the thing is that i'm using the same settings now as when i had the i7 2600k, and i never had any lags in OBS.
