So I recently discovered a few things. ---

  1. Opening OBS/streaming lowers my frames in New World by about 15-20. (turning preview on or off doesn't seem to change this - using Nvenc)
  2. Having a stream playing on a secondary monitor drops my frames in New World by about 10-20. (Microsoft Edge, hardware acceleration disabled)

I am trying to lessen this impact. I understand i can't rid myself of all of it, but having OBS open + a stream playing drops me by as much as 40fps in-game which is big for New World.

System specs:
Nvidia 3080
Ryzen 5900x
32gb 3600mhz (XMP enabled)
1440p 240hz Monitor (G-Sync enabled)
2x 144hz 1080p Monitors (secondary monitors where video plays)

Thanks!
