Excessive GPU use

[Watch]

Hello! Hope I’m posting in the correct thread. I’m only about 4 months into pc streaming and have a question. About 1 week ago I started to experience in game lag on Warzone during streaming. It was on/off for a few days. Then Fri/Sat this past week while loading into a game and monitoring my gpu using via procexp I found that my OBS is using 80% of my gpu causing my in game frames to drop down to 15fps, audio starts getting distorted and cuts out where I have to end stream. Nothing new was added to OBS and only 1 game is downloaded and setup in OBS. Prior to this I had zero issues. Also under the stats setting in OBS everything showed to be okay. No encoding or rendering spikes. Pc is wired via 2gb of fiber. If someone could point me in the right direction/things to check for. I thought about deleting OBS and reinstalling but wanted to gather some thought first.

Thanks in advanced

Please post a log with your issue! Here's how...

OBS Studio creates a log file each time you run it which contains very useful diagnostic information. Without a log file, it's much harder for any support volunteers to figure out problems and your post may be ignored. To upload a log file, go to the Help menu > Log Files > Upload Last Log...

Also, it could be your GPU working as it's expected.

Here is the log post requested. GPU working as expected may be right but not sure why all of a sudden (streaming 4 months no issues till now) maybe it’s not an OBS issues but I guess I need to rule it out.

The log file looks fine on the OBS side.
You're using too many browser sources. Each one is like a browser window/tab open. It has it's own process consuming resources.
Most alert's services have a way to composite all the elements in one single output, so you have less browser sources preserving the resources.
In OBS less is more.

Unless you're running a program not optimized at the same time it could be your GPU is working as expected.
CoD updates are known to brake more than what it fix, so...

Appreciate the response. The part I struggle with is I had the same setup 4 months ago to now with no issues. So what I’m reading is that possibly my alerts by own3d are acting as a browser source and consuming too much resources on the gpu side? Could it be a program like davinci resolve running in the background (or the program has an issue) On the log file i see it has several aja plugins missing, failed to load deck link etc… Is that something I should be concerned by?
