FPS drop during OBS

-------I run during stream:

Streamlabs Chatbot. (Tried without, changes nothing)

Spotify. (Tried without, changes nothing)

OBS. (Settings optimized, tried with x264 and with nvenc, tried with lower bitrate and higher, tried with lower fps too. nothing alters the issue)

-------My process and issue path:

I start the game up, 60 fps.

I load in to a server, 55-60 fps.

~10 minutes in to streaming fps starts dropping, about 1fps per minute in lumps of 5-10.

(At this point the issue persists even when I have closed down all programs except the game and Origin)

When I hit about 20-24 I get off the server (official server btw) and in the Home Menu I still have the same fps, only some times I have 5-10 more tops.

I restart the game, still on 20-30 fps.

I restart Origin, still 20-30 fps.

I restart PC alltogether, 60 fps.

TAKE NOTE: FPS DOES NOT DROP INSIDE OF OBS, OBS STATES PERFECT WITHOUT FRAMEDROPS. FPS ONLY DROPS INSIDE THE GAME WHICH YOU CAN SEE USING CONSOLE COMMAND "PERFOVERLAY.DRAWFPS 1"

------These things is what I have tested, none has yielded results:

I have done memtest, no ram issues.

I have done GPU stresstest, no heat nor issues with performance.

I have reinstalled windows 7 and thus made sure drivers are all up to date, it actually made the event happen sooner during gameplay.

I have ofcourse gone through all the google tips.

I have checked with my ISP if they are blocking anything.

I have tried opening TCP ports as suggested.

I have checked bottlenecking on my pc specs.

I have tried running the game on lowest graphics.

I have heat checked.

The issue does not present itself in other games. CSGO, The Forest, Rust, Human Fall Flat, Ark Survival Evolved have been tested on.

------My specs and versions:

Tried with GPU driver 397 (latest) and 391(previous), no change.

OBS 21.1.0 64 bit and 32 bit has been tried with.

DirectX 11

Bios 1.13B0
Benq E2200HD DVI and Benq G2220HD drivers are WDDM 1.1

------Specs:

Windows 7 Ultimate.

MSI z97 Gaming 5 motherboard

Two MSI GeForce GTX 960 Gaming 4GB graphic cards (Tested with and without SLI and only using one, tried that with both)
Intel Core i7-4790K CPU
Corsair Vengeance DDR3 32GB Ram.

    Hey @Sgt_CHIKUN I was thinking more then just shutting off just Origin, everything else that is running on your PC. 🙂

    simply running BF1, Origin, OBS is enough to cause the issue. @EA_Atic

    @Sgt_CHIKUN Okay I just want to make sure there is nothing else running in the background. 🙂

    (thank you for doing so, offtopic is never good)

    I am suspecting Killer Networking to be causing it, have you any knowledge of it being responsible for such things? and if you do know, is there a way around it. @EA_Atic

    @Sgt_CHIKUN easy thing is to shut if off and see if work with out it or are you using hardware version of it?

    @EA_Aticit is the driver for being able to connect to the internet. With it comes the program Killer Control Center. As of what I have understood, it portions out the internet speed that I have to the programs using it. So theoretically it might be considering BF1 a less of a priority than OBS thus strangling BF1 causing me to have low fps >ingame< but fluent fps on OBS-to-Twitch data.

    Will I be able to function without Killer Networking Center?
    Can I even delete Killer Networking Center without losing Killer Networking driver, which is required to have to connect to the internet at all?

    I do not assume you know of these questions within your line of work, but as a pc-happy person you might.

    Tonight i will attempt to stream by forcing KNC to have both on high priority.

    Then I will attempt to uninstall KNC after having downloaded the program in case it removes my internet access.

    I will update you on the results after that, i hope you will still be around for it.

    Hey @Sgt_CHIKUN

    This would be perfect example to do a clean boot just to make sure there are no other programs messing with BF1. 🙂  When it comes to specific questions to Killer Networking Center You will have to ask there support for how it works, its out outside experience.

    I have come back with bad news. Nothing has worked.
    but worse is....
    i have now given up completely.
    (i thank you @EA_Atic for your assistance, but it is futile at this point)
    It has become more trouble than its worth.
    It is by all means not EA fault, nor DICE or BF1 that this did not get solved, I place that fault upon myself as my energy has now been drained to a complete zero.

    I hope however that someone else with the same issue have more luck than I. comparing hardware or software to see a correlation maybe.

    Please lock this thread if possible
