Question / Help GPU usage while Idle

[viswagoku]

Hey guys,

I did mention this a while ago and a DEV said he will look it up but later updates still have this.
And sorry to post this again, i cant find the old thread.

I have seen many threads on performance issues and thing might help.

The GPU is being used while OBSS is open, (not recording, not streaming)[Intel Quck sync]

So i have set it to record games at 30 FPS, so it will use about 40-50% on Intel GPU. But now when recording it takes almost double the usage, i presume its the idling usage and the recording ones. (i am not that knowledgeable in this area)

All i know is the GPU is bring used while idle and when recording starts it adds extra usage. [this data is in comparison to the OBS old]

One more thing, if i set the FPS to 60 it uses 60%+ idle and 90-99% on recording, Games run on Nvidia but still FPS drops.
Lower the FPS i set, lower the idle usage, and half the recording usage.

I use HWiNFO and MSI AF, RiveTuner SS for these info.

Please help

Thank you.

HI! i have the exact same problem, using intel quick sync at idle got 60% usage of the iGPU and 100% while recording, the weird thing it's that the 1080@60 record looks great, no shuttering no lag, just fine. Even if i select x264 i still get that iGPU usage, i don't know why.
i7 4790k @4,5ghz
16gb 1866mhz
SSD for OS and games
HDD 7200rpm for record

Just waiting for a good deal on a good GPU xD (i may get a 750ti just for test some things and late change it if i find a used gtx 980 or something)
PD: The conclusion i came to it's that even if you select x264 encoding, OBS uses de igpu for the preview, but even if i disable it still get igpu usage sooo, i don't know.
