high cpu usage with obs

Normally when i am recording or streaming with obs, my cpu meter in the lower right hand corner stays under 1%. However, recently it's been above 2% during idle and when recording or streaming has climbed to above 15%. The only changes I've had is windows 11 updates. I run move-transition...

Past month or two I started to get crashes, also noticed that the CPU usage is really high up to 80% for OBS no matter which encoding setting. 1080p/720p 60fps fast/faster preset from 6000kbs, 10000kbs or 20000kbs Tried a fresh install of OBS too, without any plugins just recording. Some games...

Hey! We’re Running a VPS server with windows server 2019 Datacentre.We have also installed a dedicated elastic gpu from amazon to support heavy processing.But still OBS uses up to 95% of cpu and seems to be very laggy! We only use limited sources.

So I have a dedicated pc that is used for only streaming, the specs are 12 gb of ram a gtx 1070 and an i7 6700 (non K) rn I'm running the bit rate at 6000 and have to use very fast but wanted to use faster but when I do it uses about 80% of the cpu and starts to make the video look super choppy...

Why is OBS taking 5% +/- processing power while idle and minimized? Is there a setting to change of some sort? Not certain if it's beneficial...here's my system... Win 10Pro x64 i7-8700 GIGABYTE mobo 32 GB RAM RX 550 graphics card 6 displays (1x TV) Scott

No matter what I try, or what I uninstall/disable, I can't get my CPU to not overload when streaming or recording. Help is greatly appreciated. https://obsproject.com/logs/KIOikZbsBpQadjo1

Very recently, I've had an issue with OBS where video playback (YouTube/Twitch) lags while the program is open. I don't even need to be streaming/recording for this issue to occur--just having it open will do the trick. This is a fairly recent issue and with the specs on my system, I don't see...

Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen. This problem has been reported countless times: OBS says "Warning: High encoding CPU usage" yet the CPU usage percentage is comparatively low. I've been seeking for a solution for months (without reducing the output quality!) and finally I managed to fix it...

I am unable to run a smooth 720p30fps stream even though I recently built a PC dedicated solely to streaming. I am running an Intel i5-8400 CPU, 8GB of RAM (hoping to upgrade to 16 GB soon), a 500GB SSD boot drive, and an external Elgato capture card. I use the very fast x264 preset, and the...

Recently, I updated my graphics card adapter. I then started maxing my CPU when recording or streaming with OBS. I never had these problems before, so I rolled back to the previous version, yet I am still having these problems. I have not changed any settings in OBS. Any ideas as to what could...

Hi all. I'm not the best when it comes to the technical aspects of computers, but I really want to give streaming a go. I've been trying countless methods to speed up my computer to stream. I followed the posted guide, and even tried this method to use my laptop to help carry the weight of...

Yesterday I completely reset my PC using the reset option in the control panel. Before I did this, I was able to and had been streaming and recording using OBS and OBS Streamlabs. But now, after I wiped almost everything, when I'm not even streaming, I just have the OBS tab open, it tells me I'm...

PC Specs: GPU: GTX1080 CPU: i7 6700 RAM: 32GB I recently wiped my computer due to some security issues, and since then have had many complications with streaming. I can run games at usual FPS on maximum settings when I am not streaming, but as soon as stream starts, games such as Fortnite...

https://hastebin.com/ohisoxizax I dropped the video output to 1280x720 -- this improved the situation a lot. I then changed the downscale filter to Lanczos (it was Bilinear) -- this made little difference. My rate control is CRF 15, and I moved the CPU to veryfast. Would adding memory help...
