I was looking to get back into some streaming. Used to use obs classic. But obs studio uses 2gb of my limited gtx 970 "3.5gb" of fast vram. Is it supposed to hog more than half my resources just being open?

Thats what i was thinking, maybe its a setting or something that is askew somewhere. Because it using 2gb of vram is more than half of my fast vram on my gtx 970 "really 3.5gb" basically screwing me from streaming anything but indie games.

Browser source based slideshows are probably going to be better for your system if you have a lot of images in them.

I cherry picked a ton of wallpaper sites for alot of 720p wallpapers for a 10fps slideshow when i used to do music. Havent really streamed much since obs classic. So it loading into vram is new to me. Is having those files completely useless now? Unless i want to load them into the vram that is.

I wasnt even using the scene with the pictures, i created a new scene and source for the game and it still loaded the pictures into the vram.

I also dont know what a browser source based slideshow is because i have limited experience with all the things you can do with obs. Sorry.
