Can i make obs render and encode mostly/just on my cpu?

[OndraS]

Hello! my name is OndraS, and i have core i9 11900K with 1060 6gb.
i know its an bottleneck for gaming but i use it in programing, the question is if i can use my cpu to record so my gpu wouldnt get that heavy load.

While you can certainly encode in software, NVENC is a dedicated part of the GPU so it won't take resources away from other GPU operations.
