So one month ago I reset my computer to get it a fresh start. I started streaming too and everything was going fine and no issues with streaming. When I reset my PC I downloaded OBS and everything I needed like drivers. So I tried to stream but now all I get on my stream is stutters and lag. I get 20-40 fps on obs and it just looks like crap. When I alt tab my fps on obs goes to smooth 60fps but as soon as I go into the game the fps drops down. I need help to fix my stream plz. This is my speed test for my internet http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/7475809327. My specs are a ryzen 3 1200 with a radeon r9 270x toxic oc 4gb edition and 8gb of ddr4 ram. Can someone plz help me to start streaming again. Here are my setting for obs also. https://gyazo.com/7bfb62d9ac5b006d57e012b2d552d169 ,https://gyazo.com/d521acc66f6022f7c22be4ee4ce722c9 ,https://gyazo.com/696a487463ad2a5ee1eac3ba0d1e78b8.

Your setups are good. First question is are you using NVENC, Quick Sync, or x264/h264 CPU encoding? Could you get us a screen shot of CPU and GPU usage when the frame rate drops are happening?

Might be related, might not, but I too have an issue with OBS and you can try this trick too. If my GPU usage hits 94% or higher my keyboard inputs will lag. Only key presses are affected, everything else is fine. I have a fairly powerful GPU (GTX 1080). If I limit my framerate to 60fps for all games I can stay under 90% GPU usage and the annoying keyboard lag disappears. This problem only occurs with OBS, both the beta version and studio version. With all encoding presets, while live previewing and while recording/streaming.

Good Luck.

so it worked but i have a question is there anyway i can have more than 60 fps on my game and have a smooth stream cause at some points of the game it feels choppy cause I am used to 144 fps?
