The premise of NVENC is to handle video encoding without impacting game performance much. There's a lot of discussion on the internet about the computer resources used by NVENC in various forums, blogs, Youtube videos, etc and the general consensus seems to be that it does use a bit of CPU and...

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

Hello OBS Community, Recently I've gotten back into streaming, and just today I was running a abnormal surprise stream (just after the most recent update) and problems arose. First of all, my GPU usage spiked from 10%-20% to 100% just on the OBS process itself (due note I am running 1080p60fps...

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...

I've been using OBS to record youtube tutorials. I don't use any streaming, just for local recording. Consistently I've been experiencing that the videos will have spots about every 2-3 minutes where the video will freeze, audio continues, for 5-10 seconds and then resume. I've checked the...

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...

Hi I was using OBS a few days ago and It was working fine. But when I adjusted the resolution and I assume that I made an error it started to act funny. Now every time that I open the application I get this following message "Failed to initialize video. Your GPU may not be supported, or your...

При захвате и записи игры Forza Horizon 4 идёт перегрузка GPU. Хотя в игре 60 кадров в секунду, а нагрузка составляет всего 50% Если захватывать игру NVIDIA ShadowPlay то лагов и тормозов на записи нет. В чем может быть проблема? ОBS запущен от имени администратора и выставлен высокий приоритет...

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...

OBS ships with an existing AMD GPU encoder which is sadly outdated and unmaintained. This plugin is a rewrite of the original fixing several bugs in the process. As an additional feature it supports texture based encoding which makes GPU encoding even less CPU intensive. In it's current state...

This is a very unique situation so hear me out. My goal here is to make obs run and render exclusively using one of the gpus in my computer. I would like the other gpu to be used for everything else. This would be very easy, except for the fact that the 2 gpus are a geforce gt 710 and a radeon...

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...

I read in some forums (including here) that you cannot use 2 GPUs at the same time in streaming. I'm just hoping for that slim chance that an integrated graphics and a GPU might work at the same time. Here is my supposed plan: In our church we have 2 projector screens placed front of the...

Hey guys does anyone know how I can find out which GPU is which ? I have a 2080ti 11 GB and a MSI 1650 I'm assuming the 2080ti is GPU 0 But I want to make sure so I can stream off the 1650 If not setup correctly it would be useless. Thank you

Hey guys! Sorry if this post was already made, I've read about 5 different ones that could have been related to my problem, but nothing fixed the issue. Pretty much, the issue is that OBS Studio, under the Settings>Output>Streaming>GPU setting, I have it set to 0 so I can use my card 0 to...

Dear peoples, I am new to OBS and livestreaming in general, so please be kind if this issue is easy to fix ;) During the pandemic I started doing livestream jobs for local businesses and sport teams together with someone. We started using the ATEM Mini Pro with the ATEM software. After having...

Hey guys, I changed to a new pc (i5 10400, Nvidia Geforce 3060). As soon as I opened OBS, GPU jumped to >20%, without any sources etc. added. On my older system its around <10% GPU usage in idle mode. As soon as I disabled the preview window, GPU usage jumped down to 5%. Solution: Go into...
