Question / Help wow drops frames on OBS but not in game...

[vahlkor]

I am using avermedia live gamer hd to get my game source and i notice when i play in fullscreen borderless my frames go below 30 on obs but on wow they stay over 55 to 60+ and when i switch the game to full screen i get no frame drops on obs at all. Now my cpu stays at around 40 to 50% usage and i am using the Nvenc. is there any solution to this?

If you're using a single computer setup, using a capture card is largely useless for capturing games on the same computer.

I have always used my capturecard and it never gave me this problem... i only use it as a source so the game and my desktop are visible. In facf alot of well known streamers have this set up. (The ones that dont use 2 pc) and the error started now that i am using windows 10

Just because they do it that way, it doesn't make it smart.
Just because they're "well known" doesn't mean they know what kind of an impact their choice in setup has.

I did some more testing during the night and it seems that using game source on windowed borderless gives me the same problem. Now i am beginning to think it is a problem withing ons and windows 10. When i put the game on full screen it runs smoothly
