Question / Help Higher CPU usage (in general.)

Lostmagic103 · Jan 30, 2014

First of all, I'm coming over from XSplit, so if my log looks weird, it's because I was just experimenting with OBS for now.

So my problem (which has probably been posted a few times) is about high CPU usage, but the problem isn't just strictly with OBS (more about that below.) I've noticed that OBS uses over twice as much CPU power as XSplit does when XSplit (as far as I'm aware) is on higher settings then OBS. This is just a quick breakdown of my OBS settings:

- 1000KBs bitrate, 10 Quality, 480p 60FPS
- veryfast main x264 encoding, keyframe 2
- I left my integrated graphics card selected in "video" tab instead of my video card.

As far as I'm aware, my XSplit settings mirror that of OBS, except my encoding option is "fast" (which is the second highest for them) and my XSplit will typically run at 20-25% CPU usage, whereas OBS will run from 50-75% CPU usage, which baffles me. If my settings are wrongly adjusted somewhere, please do tell me. Here are some screenshots (Gyazo links) of my Encoding, Video, and Advanced tabs since I assume those would show vital information.

Another problem, though I'm not sure if it's actually linked, is that ever since I've try to mess around with OBS, my processors have been working "harder" then normal. I normally just have Google Chrome open with two or three tabs and I never go above 10% usage (since I have the task manager open, I keep eye on it at the bottom of the screen), but now it fluctuate up and down a lot from 2% to 25%, normally at 15% with the same settings as before (Google Chrome with two or three tabs, same two or three tabs, but now my usage is higher.) Again, I don't know if that could possibly be linked, but I find it strange that Chrome didn't update anything, nothing updated, but after I tried OBS, my processor has been acting a bit odd. I know this seems like a pity problem, but I just find it strange.

PC Specs:

- Intel Core i7-4700MQ @ 2.40GHz w/ 3.4GHz Turbo Boost
- 8GB Dual Channel DDR3L at 1600MHz RAM
- NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M with 1GB GDDR5

I don't think your comparisons between XSplit settings and OBS settings are valid. But lets test that.

Get the Media Info from a .mp4 you saved to your hard drive with XSplit, and the same for a file you saved to your hard drive with OBS, where you believe both programs are set as closely as possible to equivalent settings. Post them here, and we can make a fair comparison. Assuming XSplit is also using x264 encoding, which I thought it was.

Then, assuming I'm right and they're actually using substantially different settings, we should be able to adjust OBS to use the same settings as XSplit, and then we can find out if there's any significant differences in performance in a fair test.

Ok, just so you can see, these are the XSplit settings. I kept OBS as the settings as mentioned because I didn't have to change XSPlit nor OBS.

I can't get MediaInfo to export, so I just Gyazo it like everything else >_>; Sorry about that.

As I was doing the Local Recording test, I still noticed that XSplit was at it's normal 20-25% and OBS was at about 50% CPU usage.

But hopefully that helps/tells you something without the proper export file ._.;

only once you used 30 fps else was 60 fps with a bit above 768p

thats not 480p .... just as an information

its obviously taking a lot more cpu to encode 768p60 compared to 480p60

the same is for your last post if you had eyes you would see it that you run 480p on xsplit and 768p on obs also you stream something around 58-59fps on xsplit while obs actually gets a clean 60

sorry mate but you failed there you can blame obs for something you failed at especially when you even got the details on your own of your own fail :/

your obs http://gyazo.com/aeece12ab0f45b08bb8adda4d0480885

your xsplit http://gyazo.com/1c7adcecc283cfb559f066e8aec423e9

if you want a real comparison then actually downscale to 480p on obs ;)

Boildown · Jan 30, 2014

Well lets not put a chilling effect on anyone who might want to bring up a possible bug or problem in OBS. Its a learning experience, not a fail.

Xsplit is using a Constant Rate Factor of 18 while OBS was using a constant bit rate. This immediately means the two encodes are not comparable in the way you (the OP) mentions. There are other differences, such as the analyse=, the 8x8dct, and the keyint. All this means is that Xsplit and OBS weren't at all using the same encode settings, so saying OBS is using too much CPU or that Xsplit is way faster would be an incorrect conclusion.

Taking a look at Xsplit's settings:

cabac=1 / ref=1 / deblock=1:0:0 / analyse=0x3:0x113 / me=hex / subme=2 / psy=1 / psy_rd=1.00:0.00 / mixed_ref=0 / me_range=16 / chroma_me=1 / trellis=0 / 8x8dct=1 / cqm=0 / deadzone=21,11 / fast_pskip=1 / chroma_qp_offset=0 / threads=12 / lookahead_threads=2 / sliced_threads=0 / nr=0 / decimate=1 / interlaced=0 / bluray_compat=0 / constrained_intra=0 / bframes=3 / b_pyramid=2 / b_adapt=1 / b_bias=0 / direct=1 / weightb=1 / open_gop=0 / weightp=1 / keyint=250 / keyint_min=25 / scenecut=40 / intra_refresh=0 / rc_lookahead=10 / rc=crf / mbtree=1 / crf=18.0 / qcomp=0.60 / qpmin=0 / qpmax=69 / qpstep=4 / ip_ratio=1.40 / aq=1:1.00

And correlating with Beandog's x264 reference: http://dev.beandog.org/x264_preset_reference.html ...

It looks as though Xsplit was ran with a preset of Very Fast unchanged except for a CRF of 18.

OBS was ran with some messed up analyse command (analyse=0x1:0x111) that isn't in any of the presets. I'm not even sure what that maps to, I'd have to mess with the binary or google and hope someone else has done it. The keyint was set to 2 seconds instead of leaving it at the default, and the CBR was set to 1000, which is really low for the stream resolution and framerate. The real headscratcher is why the 8x8dct is set to off. That should only be done on UltraFast.

Where's your OBS log file from when you recorded this .mp4? And why did you use all these messed up custom settings? If you tell me you set OBS to Very Fast and set nothing else and that this is the media info from the file you saved, I'm not going to believe it.

What's more, Xsplit's average bitrate was much higher, and resolution was much smaller, and used a variable frame rate. OBS had a cbr of 1000, the original resolution instead of a downscale, and a constant frame rate.

When I started writing this, I was going to tell you how to configure OBS to match Xsplit so you can do a fair test, but now I'm not convinced a fair test is what you're interested in. I want to see the OBS log file from when you captured this .mp4 and an explanation on why you configured OBS with so many custom settings.

Lostmagic103 · Jan 30, 2014

Whoa, OBS people give off a very hasty impression. I'm not a XSplit elitist, I was just raised on streaming with XSplit, that's all. I'm just look for OBS advice. I was just making assumption about things I noticed during/after my OBS testing, I didn't mean to make it sound like I'm directly linking it to OBS (at least, the processors acting weird afterwords part.)

When I checked this setting (obviously I changed those numbers), I didn't realize that was the resolution at which it was going to stream. I guess I didn't pay any attention to what those numbers actually correlated too. I just assumed that the window of OBS defined the stream resolution as XSplit tends to do. My mistake, sorry. Here is the log from that video.

As for the settings, when I told OBS that I was going to livestream to Justin/Twitch, it told me that the Keyframe had to be set "2" and the x264 encoding profile had to be "main." This was due to possibly streaming at the 768p instead of the 480p, which is why it asked? Otherwise, I didn't think I changed much in the settings.

Once I get back from my evening classes, I can redo the OBS test with the downscaled resolution (now that I know that I inputted it wrong before) and see how that turns out.

Sorry for all the ire that I've apparently given during all of this ._.;

EDIT: After the testing, I can say that the CPU usage did go down to around XSplit levels. Log is posted below, if interested. My next question is that when I was doing this test, I noticed a tiny bit of lag in one particular section, could that be because my "video adapter" is my integrated card? Because from what I saw, with the 480p setting, I can't select my actual video card. Am I missing something with this? (I believe something shows that in the log.)

480p proper log (I believe.)
