    Low FPS but usage and temps are fine

    While I am gaming and streaming, my fps starts to drop slowly. it will start at 144 where I cap it, but it will eventually get to 70-80 fps while usage is around 60-70% and temp is below 80C. Anyone knows why this happens? GTX1660ti Inteli7 9750H 16GB Ram

    Does having multiple scenes consume resources?

    Does only the scene I am using at the moment consume resources or does all scenes consume resources just because I have them? (suppose all scenes have sources) If all scenes consume resources, is it better to jam pack most sources I need into one scene or make separate scenes?
