GFX issue when streaming while gaming.

So about a month now, I have been unable to stream, or even watch a movie while I game. My game starts off very choppy and laggy, and as time goes by it becomes down right unplayable. All MOBO and GTX drivers are up to date.Restarts, and power cycles don't help, Regardless of whatever browser I have open, IE, Chrome,Fire Fox same issue. If I have no browser windows opened up in any monitor. The game plays fine. I did do a stress test with EVGA OC Scanner, and the card did fine. Granted I didn't have anything open. I've dropped down to two monitors and still the same issue. I've tried swabbing monitors, and still the same. So I am kind of at a lose. I'm not sure what else to check. Thinking maybe the card is dying, but I don't think so, since the issue is only when a web browser is open.

 

So, I have a 970 running as a dedicated physx. I really enjoy the Arkham games. I have tested with the card removed from the system, and I get the same results.

So I was thinking of connecting my 2 monitors to the 970 but was curious to know if I needed to disable the Dedicated to PhysX part.

So are you monitoring the pc while gaming? Usage per core, ram, gpu encoding and decoding. Then the same with some ie open?

[Saberous]

I don't really see anything out of the ordinary looking in task manager.

[Mick Naughty]

Doesn't really say much. So usage is identical when gaming compared to gaming and watching something?

So like I said, everything worked great until about month ago. I was able to stream games using obs with the NDi plugin. I was able to have internet browser open and was able to either stream or watch a movie and game with no issue. When these issue happen my system resources are within the normal operational usages. The only hit was with the GFX card, were I would lose 20 FPS. Close the browser and sometimes relaunch game and everything is normal again. I have fond that  web browsers cause this issue, no other program seems to do it.

 

My stream PC is a little better then my desktop, and this issue isn't on it. I rolled back my gfx drivers to reflect the nvidia driver on that laptop but that did not work.

I think I fixed it. I fully uninstalled than deleted the nvidia drivers from my PC.I then restarted the PC. Reinstalled the drivers. After some testing, I'm not getting that issue.
