HELP! Dual PC Stream Setup. RTX 3070 Cannot Stream & Record

[BltzZ]

I recently got a new Streaming PC for my dual setup. This one has:

i7 12700K
MSI RTX 3070
32GB of Ram
Windows 10 64

at idle with OBS open and NOT recording or streaming it would be at 47 Percent usage. When I would start streaming it would shoot up to 75 percent and stay there. Trying to record drives it up to 100% and I get massive frame loss. I am trying to stream and record at 1440p for YT and 1080p for twitch. My previous 1080ti rig below did this just fine with no issues for almost 1 year. Both are trying to use Nvenc NEW

In Nvidia Control panel, changing power management to maximum on the 3070 streaming pc helped OBS at idle go down to 10%. But when stream starts it shoots up to 47 percent. and recording puts it to 98 percent.

My previous streaming PC had:

i7 6800k
GTX 1080ti ftw
32GB of Ram
Windows 10 64

BUT I could stream and record 1440p on YT and 1080p on twitch just perfectly fine with no issues.

I got this new PC with hopes of streaming in 4K but it cannot even do 1440p properly while recording. and this is a separate PC from what I am gaming on. Running as Admin does not make a difference. Log is provided below.

Hey! So I figured it out. Video streaming preset needed to be on Max performance. Not max quality. Max quality was causing my issues the whole time and what it does is 2 pass encoding. Which Nvidia nvenc new does not need. So change it to max performance and enjoy dude!

Protip, Xaymar's StreamFX NVENC implementation is far more configurable and can produce better quality results than the OBS default implementation, particularly on Turing & Ampere. https://www.xaymar.com/guides/obs/high-quality-streaming/nvenc/
