Dual PC Stream Setup 60 FPS Cap

[DiegoDaSilva]

So im getting a 60 fps cap on a 144Hz monitor with V-sync off. This isn't making sense to me. but let me give you the rundown of how this is set up.

 

Monitor 1 = 144Hz 

Monitor 2 = Elgato HD60s

Monitor 3 = 2nd Monitor at 75Hz

 

Monitor 1 and 2 are duplicated and I am having an issue with my games being capped at 60FPS as if Vsync is turned on (it's not ever) and I can only get out of the cap by going to window mode then back to full screen everytime I die or start a new match...

Another fix to this is by opening OBS on the gaming PC and sending a full screen preview from "Monitor 2" (144Hz) to my "Monitor 3" (HD60s). But this adds anywhere from 15-20% extra GPU utilization on my RTX 2070 Super.

Is there any other fix to this issue where I'm getting capped at 60 fps?

is it whilst being ingame and your vsync might be turned on automatically, and or an fps cap to the game?

are you recording with your elgato on the monitor and if that's the case the elgato might cap it at 60 whilst recording

Its the capture card that is causing the 60 fps cap. Nothing you can do about it beyond upgrading to the new 60s+ or 4k60pro mk2

No vsync on as mentioned.

Using the obs workaround there is a fix... Using a full screen preview from main display to the elgato you can capture your gameplay. My concern is if the gameplay is 1080p60 and good quality. At first I was getting up to 20% Gpu usage on a 2070 super but now it has lowered to 2 or 3% on its own.
