Hi,
I recently upgraded to an RTX 3080 and it has been great for streaming so far, however I wanted to - for the first time - stream a game that actually utilised RTX and so I went with an older game, Metro: Exodus.
The game runs beautifully at max settings with RTX enabled, however OBS streaming/recording is really choppy despite showing 0.2% or less frame skipping from encoding/rendering/network.
Someone recommended that if I was using two monitors with different refresh rates, this could impact it... I was as my second monitor is trash, so I dropped my main monitor down to 60hz and enabled VSYNC in game but that didn't help.
Someone in this thread mentioned that OBS doesn't have compatibility for DX12 so I switched down to DX11 and that, combined with the 60hz refresh rate seemed to make the streaming/recording passable...
I finally tested if it was just the DX11 and whether I could re-enable 144hz - however the playback went back to being really choppy again so I need to implement both fixes.
My question is this: is it really not posssible to run DX12 games (and thus RTX) whilst streaming using OBS? Are there any other settings or things that I should be looking at when getting a really choppy stream whilst MY playback looks fine and whilst dropping almost ZERO frames through encoding/rendering/network causes in OBS?
Hope this all makes sense - thanks in advance for any advice.
