cpu overload

Hello, I’ve been experiencing issues while streaming with OBS where my stream freezes or crashes when CPU usage spikes high. Despite extensive troubleshooting, I haven’t been able to resolve the problem and need help identifying the root cause. I've noticed some time ago, that the GPU usage...

I currently am using close to 30% cpu while just having the program open. I am not streaming or recording. I believe it has to do with the fact that I have overlays/webm/web links running. Is it really reasonable for overlays to create 30% cpu usage? I currently have a intel core i7-7700, and my...

Hello OBS gurus, I'm turning out to you because I have gone through Google and the forums and I didn't find anything which solved my issue. I'm DJing and I use OBS to record videos. My configuration when I do this is: - RekordBox (DJing software opened) - OBS with 2 scenes containing each a...

Like a week ago, I installed something for my Inter processor, an i3. I installed the assistant support for updates after getting advice from another user, and now I've noticed that the enconder is not recognized anymore, and my rendering lags and CPU overloads seem to have worsened. Did I...

I need urgent help. During December, I've noticed some lines on the monitor, a visual issue, and a month later, my father sent my PC at the assistance center in Milan to fix the problem. It was sent back at mid January, but two weeks after I got it back, the problem starts. I first noticed it on...

Hello, when I start OBS, the CPU and GPU utilization values are completely within limits. About 6% CPU utilization without stream, about 11% with stream. But after about 10 minutes of streaming, the CPU utilization goes up to 35% and sometimes 40%. Which is really weird, since I'm coding over...

Hey Everyone, One of my first times posting on the forum... I've recently started streaming again after a while and went through the effort of upgrading my overlays, alerts, scenes, etc. What I didn't account for is how these alerts and overlays would affect my CPU performance. On my busiest...

Hello! Im really getting frustrated now and couldnt figure out what's happening. I have this mac with the following Specs: MBP 16-2019 MacOS Big Sur (upgraded 2 days ago when i thought upgrading could solve my problem) 11.4 2,6 GHz 6 core intel core i7 16 GB 2667 MHz DDR4 AMD Radeon Pro...

Below is a screenshot of my CPU load for the last 30 days, as you may have guessed I stream 1-2 times a week. However last nights stream was a total disaster. CPU maxed on all cores within 30 mins and OBS dropped frames every 1 or 2 minutes without fail. After reseting OBS, and then resetting my...

I've updated Obs to the last version. I'm opening many times the OBS settings menu. On another screen I've chrome opened. Opening the setting menu turns to be veeery slow whren Chrome is opened. It seems like the program is blocked. Moreover, I noticed that the CPU usage goes very high if I...

Hello folks, A few days ago I had load problems in OBS Studio. At that time my system was running on Windows 11 and I thought that caused problems. I freshly installed Windows 10 and reconfigured everything, then it ran normally again for about a week with an average of 25% CPU utilization. Now...

I've tried every work around to stream at 936p. I am streaming my other PC to this one with an Elgato HD60, and even when I remove the Elgato source, it is still using 80% of my CPU when streaming (idle is 15%-40%). I only have 1 browser source since I use streamelements and 2 video output...

Hi, so when I'm streaming my CPU percentage is about 15-20% but after like 30 minutes it's growing to about 40 sometimes even 50 %. After that it goes down to 30% but keeps rising to 40% again after some time. All that happens although I'm not changing the scene or doing anything on my Mac. Does...

Hi, I've read the " High CPU Usage/High Encoding/Taking too long to encode? Read this first!" and the " Dropped frames/disconnecting/lag? Read this first! " threads, but my problem is still occuring. Log: https://obsproject.com/logs/c0sqBXnPKcHBSfPA (Already get rid of window capture, it was...

When I stream with OBS everything slows down. Chrome is near impossible, obs itself "works" but is super slow, so changing scenes, or anything is extremmly difficult. I saw some advice about running in Admin mode and I will try that, but I hope you can find some other things I can change. Thanks

Hi! When I stream in OBS, the CPU usage is high (60%) and often reaches 100%. When it reaches 100%, it displays that the encoder is overloaded and sometimes the stream is freezing. And it is having a big delay (20s - 40s).

I am troubled as my processor performance while streaming games like the wicther 3 or fortnite, even lowering the resolution and the birate seems to me to be some problem with the performance of mine cpu. I use SLOBS and the program even uses 40 percent of my cpu during streaming. Thanks to...

so when ever I am streaming Rainbow six siege for example I have 5% to 10% encoding lag and I upgraded my hardware because of these issues I had an I5-8400 then I up graded to a I7-9700 thinking that would fix it but it didn't then it still says I have high encoding lag even though I am using at...

Hi all, As stated in the title, my CPU flies right up to 100% once I start streaming, I haven't streamed in a while and I remember that it used to work fine but since then I have had to update to the newer version of OBS and I have gained an extra monitor since. (I am running 4 monitors). My...

Hi! Been running into this problem for the past few days after noticing it on my last video, and I'm really stumped. When I record, OBS tells me that its having an encoding overload, but it just doesn't seem to be the case... the CPU (when looking in task manager) doesn't go over 25% overall...
