Question / Help gpu usage high with cpu encoding???

[fuckurusername]

ok so i just got some new stuff for streaming. 1080p monitor. and the i7 4790 cpu. my gpu has always been the gtx 960. before i got the new cpu i did nvidia nvenc for encoding. and gpu usage was around 60% all the time. now im encoding with cpu and gpu usage is around 95% all the time idk why please help heres my logfile

also when watching stream it looks fine for the quality its at it used to have lag spikes now it doesnt

Does the GPU usage occur if you untick "encode while previewing" in advanced options?
If it does: Remove any CLR/Browser scenes from the scene or set their size to 0x0 pixels and see if the GPU usage persists.

that option was unticked yes. i put the clr scenes to 0x0 all of them and usae actually went up slightly stuck at 97% i never had this problem with the gpu encoding but i want cpu encoding cause i have really good cpu now. unless i should switch back??

Hmm interesting. You could definitely try to use NVENC and see if that would fix anything which I kinda doubt. Maybe make a completely fresh scene and add things one by one to see what causes the GPU spike?

well i used nvenc when i was using my i3 but i try to use cpu cause i heard its better

just tried nvenc again. usage still the same. when i had the i3 it didnt do this is it because i have i7????

another update. im test streaming with csgo. when im on main menu usage is around 35% but RIGHT when i get into game it pops right up to 97% and stays there. so its something with the game then? why is it doing this now with better specs??
