Hey everyone! I've noticed that I'm experiencing about 14% lag on my PC, and it seems to be causing input lag when I stream with Discord and OBS. My setup is pretty solid, with an Intel Core i7-12700K CPU, 32 GB of DDR5 RAM, an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Super GPU, and I'm using two Full HD monitors (one at 280Hz and the other at 240Hz). I recently upgraded to Windows 11 Pro Ghost Spectre. Does anyone have tips on how I can reduce this lag? Thanks in advance for your help!

It sounds like your setup is actually quite good, and you may not have a true bottleneck. Those websites that say you have a bottleneck might just be trying to get clicks. Try using NVENC for streaming to take some workload off your CPU, that should help!
I’m not even sure what ‘14% lag’ means. Maybe you should clarify how you measured it. Understanding what you're experiencing is key to figuring out a solution!
If you're wanting to stick with 1080p, consider tweaking your graphics settings. You might want to try increasing quality settings and anti-aliasing while lowering CPU-heavy settings to balance the load better.
That’s smart. Higher-res settings can put more stress on your GPU, which could help if your CPU is under strain.
Yeah, NVENC is a good move. It'll definitely lighten the CPU load.
