cpu

Hey, I'm working on setting up presentations we can present to customers and will be using OBS primarily over Zoom, or another Webinar option I'm still researching. My test runs have not gone well, my CPU is getting throttled to 100% and the audio coming in from others and going out is really...

I streamed Spider-Man and Horizon Zero Dawn this week and even though I'm using the Nvenc encoder and OBS was utilizing less than 10% of the CPU, I was getting way lower FPS in these games than I should. I noticed that the GPU was being missvely under utilized. It concerns me a lot since it's...

here is my most recent log file --> https://obsproject.com/logs/lsFswxivH3Mt81Xl (the analysis didn't detect any problems) every time i open OBS, a 'kernel_task' starts eating up CPU according to 'activity monitor'...approaching 1000% and rendering my computer unusable until i quit OBS i'm...

I can record at native resolution (1080p) with my gpu but i ask myself if it is possible to split the recording task between the cpu and gpu? I have a low-middle end pc so it would be helpfull. Thank you in advance.

Hey everyone, I was having trouble for the past few streams where I was mid-stream and suddenly OBS would crash. At first, I didn't know what this issue was but I managed to discover it and it was something to do with the CPU encoding. This is a really strange issue as I haven't had these...

Hi everyone! I am only recording short game clips (mostly fast-paced games like fps genre). Can u explain me the settings? Which should i use on my system? I want lossles-quality recordings as possible, file sizes are not problem for me because my recordings usually will be so short. Should i...

Hello! First of all, I saw in a thread that it is recommended to link the last log file, so here it is : Last Log File Okay, so the problem that I have is that, whenever I play ( in this instance ) VALORANT, I get a consistent 164 fps because that is what I have it capped at. Whenever I open...

I'm wondering if I should use x264 or H264 (AMD Advanced Media Framework). Also what settings should I use for what encoder? My Specs: AMD Ryzen 5 3600X 6-Core Processor GPU: Radeon RX 580 Series

Hey! I'm looking for some help, I want to know the best Settings for my rig. PC Specs: CPU: Intel Core I5-6500 GPU: GeForce GTX 1070 TI Ram: 8GBs I'll mainly play games like overwatch, Minecraft, maybe val? stuff like that.

I've noticed today that all my games are lagging as I am streaming where it never did it before. So I opened up task manager and now since the update OBS is using 60+% cpu whereas it only used 20% avg with my current settings. Now its 40% higher. And now it's barely using any gpu which before it...

the "Skipped frames due to encoding lag" keep going up even though my cpu is used at about 50% in task manager, and obs is stating it's using the cpu at about 5% log file

Hello there, I'm trying to optimize my cpu load (older cpu) while streaming. I watched some videos where they say, that it's better to use browser sources instead of local files. But how does that make sense? The browser source must be rendered like everything else right? Or is it about...

Hey everyone im trying to make obs work like it used to i have no idea what has changed but now it is not letting me record anything at all without it encoding lag left and right and im really getting fed up with it i enjoy recording but i cant do it without my videos looks choppy now Specs...

Hey dear, Open Broadcasting Software forum! Today I changed to H264/AVC Encoder (AMD Advanced Media Framework) which was before on "veryfast" x264.. I also did experiments on medium up to ultrafast (ultrafast is too extremely pixelated, and medium is not pixelated, and in realities like "The...

From my understanding, the composition of the different sources is done on the GPU and it's also the case for the encoding (NVENC) so what is left on the CPU? I have a CPU bottleneck so I would like to know how I can influence the CPU consumption of OBS knowing I'm using NVENC encoding

using recording quality same as stream or different quality. Is it just asking more work to the encoder (on the GPU) or is it doing more work on the CPU too?

Hi, I am running into this horrible overload of CPU usage on my 2016 MacBook Pro 13". As I have been trying to fix it for over two weeks I will try to narrow down the issue: Whenever I start up OBS it completely clogs up my Mac's CPU, averaging between 87-95% (even when idle). I recently...

Hi, im Streaming 3 NDI Streams (2 Cameras, one Projector, to screen Capturing) to Youtube. Right now im Doing that on a MacPro 5.1 or a Macbook Air M1. The Macbook Air has the Problem that after some time it gets hot, Framerate drops and i get delays. The Mac Pro works OK but there are only...

Hi all ! I recently restored a clean version of my streaming PC. Since then I'm getting high CPU usage on a random basis. Let me explain : Sometimes I spend hours livestreaming (NVENC) + recording (x264) without a hitch. Sometimes I just boot up OBS, not even going live, to find my usual 10%...

So when I have another source open (one without the animated overlay) at idle without doing anything, obs is usually 2%, However when I switch to the source with the animated overlay, it spikes up to 20% on idle only. I tried streaming with both sources, I had no problems nor lag when I wasn't...
