gpu usage

I've been noticing something really weird, i tend to record my display instead of a specific proccess, and when doing so, the 3D usage of the GPU stays at 21% and Video encoder at 60%. But then, when playing games, the video encoder goes wayy down and the 3D usage understandably goes up...

So I have been messing with trying to locate the source of high GPU usage when I have OBS open. It started after I updated my nVidia drivers. I found that rolling them back to old ones from February will fix the problem. However I dug deeper and found that the main issue seems to be the shader I...

Alright...I've spent over 8 hours today troubleshooting this and I cannot for the life of me fix it. Any suggestions would be welcome. But I will warn you that I have tried just about EVERYTHING to lower the GPU usage with no luck. For some reason just sitting IDLE (not even running a game. No...

Hi! I noticed that I can run Elden Ring really smooth when not recording, but as soon as I open OBS STudio, the Elden Ring cpu usage goes from 65% to almost 100%. The Windows Task Manager shows that ELDEN RING goes to 100% (not just the gpu usage, but the game itself). Obs studio open (without...

What the title says, does overclocking an RTX 2060 Super improve OBS performance? The reason I'm asking is because I believe either my monitor or GPU is having problems recording in a solid 60 fps. I currently use two monitors: 1440p 144hz and a 1080p 60hz, and before I bought my 1440p monitor I...

Hi! In this past weekend's, i notice in my task manager while i'm streaming of OBS using 15% of gpu and two seconds later uses 30-35% or 20-25%. In the past i don't see a thing like that, only keeps to 10-15% and doesn't goes up in a seconds, i tried some things and nothing fixes it, i'd...

Hello, I've been streaming regularly for the past two weeks and I've had no issues whatsoever until recent updates (from 3 days ago or something) : the first one introduced this "an encoding error occurred while streaming" randomly happening when I stream, which I've never had before. It...

Hi there, When streaming the quality of my streams are hit and miss and I am wandering why. I've recently bought a new GPU so I decided to dedicate my old GPU to encoding the stream however, I have found out that when I start streaming the quality of the stream doesn't seem to be that great and...

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...

I've been trying to record minecraft game play, but OBS is only recording about 3-5 fps. I have an egpu which minecraft is using, so it's not competing. When I open GPU History, I can see the internal GPU usage go to 100% as soon as I open OBS and before I even start recording. Is there a...

I (successfully) installed NvEnc and ffmpeg from source using this guide: https://askubuntu.com/questions/778100/how-to-install-compile-nvenc-in-ubuntu However I am unable to use ffmpeg vaapi with NvEnc enabled and can only use the default NvEnc setting of obs. Cpu utilization is 165% (400% =...

Hopefully someone here can shed some light on what's going on. I recently noticed my GPU load drastically lowers when I open up the interact or filters window on any source. I have a dedicated streaming rig with a GTX 960 in it. I have a gaussian blur filter on one of my camera sources (I am...

Hello there. As the title says - I wanna know would setting my streaming settings to be GPU intensive rather than CPU intensive, will it decrease my GPU's life span? I know that it will, of course, be heavy on the GPU and will use it's memory, that's a given. But is there a correlation between...

Hello, I just recently started having an issue with making local recordings. When I open particular games, I see a spike in GPU usage in Task Manager. When gpu spikes, I lose fps in OBS without recording or streaming. Examples - 1. Apex Legend - high gpu usage at menu, probably because it is...

The Problem (frames missed due to rendering lag) Since ~mid 2017 there have been many posts about people with low FPS in OBS despite their in-game FPS being fine. The reason? Most people will tell you to "you're using too much GPU usage, cap your FPS (or enable V-Sync) to allow OBS to render the...
