      @nobiscis perhaps it is something in the elgato setup that changed? Pi video can be captured in other ways. Have a look at your elgato configs. Sometimes settings are auto changed, thinking it's helping you out and then cannot revert...

        It says 1080p 60fps

        Is there no way to make the Pi run at 60fps without an elgato? It runs at 60fps on my TV, but not my mini monitor without an elgato. I went through my monitor's settings and there is nothing I can change there to benefit me. There has to be some configuration changes I can make

          @nobiscis The Pi will run at 60fps. No problems. Is the elgato going through something else? This can cause slowdown. Are you using an HDMI splitter or any other type of switch?

            @nobiscis hook it up to the mini monitor (what is it btw?) And run tvservice -s in terminal.

              It might help if I add that my monitor is a makerfire 7in.

              The HDMI cord runs from the Pi to the Elgato, and then the Elgato has a second HDMI sticking out the rear and that goes to the monitor. This somehow makes everything run much smoother. 60fps and 1080p.

                  @nobiscis I cannot tell you what your specific issue is. Sorry. Have a read at this. Have a play around. Reboot after any change. https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/configuration/config-txt.md

                    @nobiscis does your monitor support 576p at 50 Hz?

                      @nobiscis A quick "google" tells me your monitor is probably 480p.
