Question / Help Watching/Monitoring lags the PC

[Gremby]

So I recently upgraded my GPU from a 680 to a 980 Ti. Now whenever I watch my own stream on my second monitor (I have 3) the game feels laggy for me even tho I have like 300+ fps. Dis wasn't as noticeable with my last card. I also upgraded to Windows 10. Any workaround or is this just the case? I wanna see the stream and the twitch chat :/

Specs:
3930k @ 4.4
980 Ti
8GB RAM
SSD's and shit..

Cheers for reading!

What's your CPU usage at with the new card? Having pretty much the same issue on W10 as you :/

Do you mean CPU or GPU? Either way, both sit at around 50%.

Yep, watching your stream from the same system from which you are streaming isn't recommended. One reason some casters have a separate control laptop nearby (as well as being able to use OBS Remote, interact with chat without alt-tabbing out of fullscreen games, and previewing links without risking letting a screamer on-stream).

If you want chat on the second monitor, popping it out works, or using a dedicated chat program like Chatty, or even just using a standard IRC client.
