Question / Help Downside/Difference between OBS 32 and 64 Bit

[veryfine]

I use Avermedia Stream Engine to record locally in maximum quality while streaming with OBS. Avermedia SE doesn't work with OBS 64 Bit though, which is why I installed 32 Bit. I have W10 Pro 64 Bit and a Ryzen 2700X. I wanna be sure that my OBS gets the maximum power out of my Ryzen while encoding, so I'm asking: Do I have performance/result deficit if I use 32 Bit, respectively: what are the differences between 32 and 64 Bit and do they affect CPU usage.

Thanks in advance!

64 bit is slightly faster, but the main benefit is increased available memory. 32 bit OBS can't use more than 3 GB, so if you have a lot of sources (especially browser sources) this limit can be reached quite fast and OBS will crash.

In real time applications you hardly notice the difference. If OBS Studio will it eat up to 2GB of your RAM then your scenes is not optimized.
