Question / Help High CPU usage while idling/streaming.

Hello everyone!
This was honestly the maiden voyage of a new Elgato HD60 capture card that I just bought and it seemed to set up fairly easy.
Normally I have had no issues with my streaming set up, as OBS has always idled and streamed around 12% while streaming old console games via an old Dazzle RCA capture card. But now with the Elgato, my CPU is running a bit high, even while streaming at 720p. It idles around 60%, and jumps up to about 70% when streaming to twitch.
I have ran a test and the stream seems to run fine, I don't drop any frames on my end, but I can't help but think something isn't configured properly to optimize my CPU usage.
Any ideas?

Here is a link to the log:
