Game Running at Unusually Low FPS While Streaming
My Specs:
RTX 4070 Super
32 GB DDR4
Ryzen 9 5900x
My internet is also a stable 100 MBS upload/download speed. I've tried EVERYTHING. My game settings are as low as they can get and my OBS encoder settings are:
NVIDIA NVENCH H.264
Constant Bitrate
6000 KBps
Keyframe Interval = 0
Tuning: High Quality
Multipass: Full Resolution
Profile: high
Look Ahead and Adaptive Quantization OFF
0 B-Frames
For other troubleshooting I've disabled GPU Acceleration on my browser and PC and steam, I have the bare minimum applications open to stream only the game, spotify, OBS, Wave Link for my audio, and my camera (which is also on low settings). My OBS scene has 8 sources. I set my game's priority to high through task manager, and I play it full screen.
I feel like I'm going crazy, I have no idea why this is happening. I really want to be able to stream fps games, but I just can't play at 60 fps. I'm at the point where I'm about to get an audio interface and capture card and just offload all my streaming software onto my old PC so that my game performance doesn't take a hit, but I really don't want to throw more money into solving this when my PC should be able to handle this on its own.
