Question / Help Increase GPU usage with 2 instances of OBS

[TheTechLast]

I have a question: why does obs increase GPU fan and usage when i have 2 instances of OBS open? Even when i am not doing any recording? With one open, it's just fine. Thanks.

I can't believe there aren't any OBS experts here.

OBS uses some GPU, having 2 instances open uses about twice the amount of GPU power.

Less then 5 hours after you posted your question and already this impatient....OBS needs to do some scaling, filtering and rendering for your scene. This is done via GPU (even if you encode the frames into a video/stream by CPU encoding). That's the reason, why this additional GPU load is already there, when OBS is just opened.
