Question / Help 50% CPU usage?

[cvax]

Hi,

Is it expected that only 50% CPU usage is used? I have a Core i7 920 and when streaming my CPU seems to always be 50%, never more. Is it being capped or is it just not demanding enough? Thanks.

Video Encoding
quality = 10
max bitrate = 4000

Encoder preset = veryfast

50% does sound about right for a 920 and 720p60 using veryfast, yes.
