cpu usage

Hey there, having a weird problem, been using OBS for years now and it always worked fine, now its a weird situation which i still cant find a fix that works permanently. I used to have some Browser links such as Follower overlay etc. and they always seem to work great with low CPU usage (0.4%...

Hey everyone, I would like to know why OBS Studio takes more CPU Usage than on Windows. I have rebuild the one of the Scene in Linux with the same sources. On Windows while being idle (no recording or streaming) the scene takes about 0,5% and on Linux it takes about 11% of CPU Usage. OBS...

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...

I'm running SLOBS - when I stream my CPU usage is around 45% - I have 4 scenes, with 8ish sources in the larger ones. I have had bad experiences with OBS on Mac before - freezing up mostly. I'm looking to take advantage of plug-ins though, so I'm back! The question is this - what's the best way...

While I was streaming, I noticed that my CPU Usage throttled to around 20 to 30 percent then my Upload de-throttled to 0 Kbps This happened while my Internet connection was already ok. I am particularly concerned that Minecraft [especially with Optifine Preview 1.17 on] is the only game that's...

Hi I have a problem with my OBS or processor. About two days ago I discovered that when I use movies (by media source) in OBS, program's CPU usage is rising to about 20% (even without streaming), when earlier the highest percentage was about 5%. And when it comes to streaming, the stream is...

Im gonna participate on my first Tournament on friday and I need to fix this! So my obs keeps cranking up the cpu usage, even though task manager says the opposite. I use a couple of browser sources but when its at 30-40% usage its perfectly fine, but over 80-90% its ridiculous and why does it...

After updating to version 26 on Sunday OBS now idles around 22% CPU usage and simple tasks such as playing a video as a media source kicks it up to nearly 60% without streaming or recording.

Hello, My issue is something I haven't seen anyone post anywhere yet. It's concerning a certain preset, just laggging/ having stutters. I am using an Elgato HD60 pro capture card and the OBS software. I am using it for streaming console games mainly and have done a few test to try things out...

Hey guys I have a bit problem. I have kinda crappy PC and I'am streaming couple years. So thing is lately I was using GPU to stream games such Battlefield 1 coz this game consume a lot of CPU. So it was like my CPU ussage by OBS was around 5% and GPU around 20% despites of settings. But now I...

I have a MSI GTX 1060 6GB, an I5-8400 and 16 gb ram, which i used to be able to record 1080p 60fps, but recently i had tyo redownload my obs and i lost my settings but i couldn't recover them. Now, no matter what low settings i use, my recordings are stuttering and low quality and my cpu usage...

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...

So it's pretty much EDIT to my previous post. Figured out most of the stuff (faulty video) and now I'm down to one issue. Exactly every 10 seconds obs preview/stream stutters/drops frames for exactly 10 seconds and it loops like that. - reinstall the app - update all drivers - change tons of...

Most of my footage is from CS:GO and sometimes i see the warning that the encoding is overloaded so I came up with a question. Is recording at a higher resolution less demanding than scaling to a lower resolution while recording? At the moment I set the Canvas to 1920x1080 but the Output...

Hello everyone, I downloaded OBS to stream computer games on Twitch-TV, but I also want to capture everything from source to original quality. My PC is not a high-end gaming PC but rather weak. If someone needs information about my hardware or software I would like to provide it. Basically...

Before I even start let me say that I have spent the last week googling and questioning to solve this issue and have yet had a single question answered correctly. Before this week everything in the setup worked perfectly fine. Setup Gaming PC intel I7 7700k MSI gtx 1060 6gb Current version of...

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...

Right now my cpu usage goes to 50% or more and drops frames when on 60fps would using the NVENC encoder help use less cpu and make it so I can record at 60 FPS using the nvidia gt 710?

Hello, i have this specs elgato: elgato hd60s gaming pc: gpu: rtx 2060 cpu: i7-8700k - oc 4.4 ram: 16 streaming pc: gpu: 1060 3gb cpu: i7-4790 - oc 4.4 ram: 8 obs settings: Twitch: Output: x264 1080p60 bitrate: 5000/6000 use custom buffer size: uncheck keyframe: 2 cpu usage preset...

Hey dear OBS users, my new CPU gives me Headaches. I bought a Ryzen 7 2700x together with the asus prime x470-pro mainboard to get a better performance while streaming. The Problem is streaming in 1080/60fps is not possible even in 720/60fps the cpu is on the limits. I also put the log file...
