Question / Help CPU hitting the ceiling any Fixes?

During my time of streaming I was using a 720p input with a facecam and subcounter but now I am using a sub alert, facecam, and 480p input. The Elgato input is at 480p now because of cpu usage it jumps to anywhere around 65pecent without streaming. I have a 2.43ghz processor and it works fine with the 480p only hitting 50% when streaming. The only problem with this is the quality output there is no in between of 720p and 480p input so I was wondering within the settings of obs if there are any known ways to drop cpu usage. I do use INTEL QUICK SYNC but I need another way to drop some quality but still look better than 480p. Will droping output ratio from 1280x720 to 1024x576 work in this manner to help. I am not on my normal pc so I have no way of posting log at the moment but when I can I will.
 
Like I said I can not post my log at the time but when I can I will. I also am on WiFi but it is laggy on OBS I just need to know what is the best way to lower cpu usage but still be above 480p quality.

Without the information the log provides, we can't provide suggestions for how to fix your issue.
 
OK I was just seeing if there were any known fixes without the logs to use less cpu. I will provide the log later. Thank you for viewing this though.
