If you notice an FPS drop when using NVIDIA Broadcast, you need to make a few adjustments. First of all, make sure that you don’t combine effects, also, reduce the camera resolution and framerate to 720p30 to not put extra strain on your GPU.
If you still notice lag and frame drops, make sure to enable Game Mode and Hardware Scheduling. These two are the built-in Windows features and enabling them can help the user.
