[meir aharon]

Hey guys, just started using OBS and streaming and i dont know if this is normal but i have a i7-6700k and im using idle in obs around60-70% of my cpu and streaming im using like 95% so, im wondering if anybody knows what i can do to bring those numbers down. I am streaming at 720p with 60 fps at very fast so i dont know if thats the problem, but i dont think it is. heres a log file https://gist.github.com/9d97e90fb525e3a0aaf25f421bd1fcfb

Try actually installing your video card drivers.

No, it's not, and it's almost certainly related to the fact that you don't have a proper GPU driver installed on your system. It's defaulting back to the Windows software video driver.

There's something still very wrong here. Try doing a clean GPU driver install as explained here: http://obsproject.com/forum/resources/performing-a-clean-gpu-driver-installation.65/

You need to plug your monitor into the AMD GPU.
