Hi, hoping for some help :)

I've been streaming for a little while now and things have been working great. I stream SC2 setup as a game capture in fullscreen mode with vsync on...game runs at 1080p and i stream at 1080p 30 fps.....bitrate is 3500 and the buff is 3500 too. My internet is 35mb/s down and 30 mb/s up....processor is 4770k, GPU - GTX 780, 8GB DDR3 RAM. Ive tried to stream in 1080p at 60 fps but i get in game lag....not sure if i should or not based on this setup?

my biggest concern is that i would really like to be able to stream without any in-game lag, while playing sc2 in windowed fullscreen mode. Anytime i change from fullscreen to windowed fullscreen i get in game lag that i dont get while having sc2 in fullscreen mode....does anyone have any suggestions on how to get good results when streaming sc2 in windowed fullscreen mode? - - - - - - should i cut back the bitrate? If i could stream in windowed fullscreen mode at 1080p 30 fps with no in game lag i would be sooooo happy.....of course if it could be higher fps that would be great too.....

NEED TO BE ABLE TO PLAY IN WINDOWED FULLSCREEN MODE AND BE ABLE TO STREAM WITH NO IN GAME LAG - PLS HELP!
p.s. - should i be playing with vsync on or off while streaming? my monitor is 60 hz 1920 x 1080.

as i mentioned i do not have any trouble while streaming in fullscreen mode....the stream works and looks great. I'd like to be able to use windowed fullscreen mode though and when i try it i get in game lag.....to the point where its not playable.

Thanks for your help!

Could you try enabling aero in windows and in OBS? Having aero off actually turns off desktop hardware composition and will be less efficient for windowed games. Aero is where you get the "glass look" on your windows theme

yup, i know what aero is and i will try it....do you think this could be causing such a reduction in frame-rate while streaming in windowed fullscreen mode though?

It just doesnt seem like having aero active would solve the problem, but i'll certainly try. Thanks for the advice.
