I have been streaming heavy games from my rig [GTX 1080ti, i7 8700k, 16gb RAM, OS on my SSD along with OBS, etc.], games like: PUBG, Fortnite, Payday 2, R6 Siege etc. Somewhere around a week ago my GPU performance has dropped significantly if I stream a PC game, or even if im not streaming and just have obs up with that game's scene up. OBS matches the game's GPU usage and they both run the utilization up to 100% while I'm only getting about 45-50 fps in-game (noticed the problem first with Payday 2, and since noticed it even does this in Stardew Valley!)
Not sure why this is utilizing so much GPU, its like as soon as the game is in focus and obs is running, they both ramp each others utilization and max out. GPU temps aren't even close to high, power supply is doing just fine and the gpu doesnt seem to be power throttled. It seems like its an OBS problem, but I'm unsure.
Any suggestions on a course of action. I've uninstalled all video drivers and fresh installed them, no change. I've streamed Payday 2 before like 3 months ago and had zero problems like this. It seems to have been a change within the last week. Please help if you can
