I am trying to stream CS GO on my pc and i am experiencing frame lag on CS GO. My frames are usually at close to 300 normally but when i open OBS it goes down to around 60 and feels very laggy. With lowered graphics it goes down to 80 but that still is too low. My processor is a i7-7700k, i have 2x8gb ddr4 ram,
And my graphics card is a nvidia 1060 6gb evga superclocked. Any suggestions would help.
 
Enable your iGPU and try Quicksync.
 
Or capture card

You'd have to be a little more specific. I know the El Gato devices in particular do little more than pass data along. Your PC still has to do all the heavy lifting (transcoding).
 
Looks like some of them have an "h.264 encoder" which I would expect to be able to handle that, but some don't...

Anyways, Quicksync is free, since you already have it, and your CPU currently still carries the latest iteration of Intel Graphics, so you can expect the best Quicksync currently has to offer.
 
Your OBS settings must be set wrong. Use shadowplay or something instead.
 
there are lots of people that stream, most either do it thru a 2nd computer or they get more cores/threads. Also when it comes to streaming cpu speed does not matter that much, it helps sure but core counts matter more in that.

I know the haters will hate but Ryzen is the way to go with streaming and gaming on the same PC.

well yes, i stream using shadowplay on my ryzen and dont even get FPS drops, everything 'just works' even at 4k (recording) or 1440p 60hz (youtube streaming)
 
That's basically what Quicksync will do. Shadowplay makes use of nvenc (which will consequently hammer your GPU, albeit with a relatively small hammer). You can also use nvenc in OBS, or software encoding (CPU). Using Quicksync will take the load from the encoding and put it on the Intel Graphics chip, leaving your CPU and GPU alone as if you weren't encoding at all.

One caveat: though it has gotten better since its inception, Quicksync (and nvenc for that matter) being hardware encoders, produce slightly lower quality videos (99% of people probably couldn't tell the difference, though) at higher bitrates (not great for streaming if you're super bandwidth limited) than what encoding by CPU can do. It's good enough for streaming, or locally capturing videos (at a stupid high bitrate, as lossless as lossy encoding can be) for editing later, but I still wouldn't do a DVDRip for my Plex server with it, mainly because I can do better with software encoding in both terms of quality (however insignificant, but worth mentioning) and resulting file size (actually worth mentioning, smaller files at the same quality are better!).
 
GeForce Experience's Shadow play works and has decent basic configs it usually works better with less impact on Nvidia cards....I would give a try and bet you don't miss obs.
