Intermittent high GPU while using virtual camera for virtual meetings

[dagmandt]

Hi folks,

I'm very new to OBS but am unable to actually use it or experiment with it because my GPU spikes to 100% intermittently for extended periods of time while using the virtual camera. It ultimately causes other lag issues as well such as typing and dragging windows around. I have to kill OBS to get the machine back to normal. My laptop is a Thinkpad P14s with onboard and discrete NVIDIA graphics. Any suggestions would be great. I've messed around with hardware acceleration and a few other tweaks but zero change.

Just opening OBS Studio causes my GPU to jump from near idle to 33% and keeps it there. Running virtual camera lands at about 50% but spikes to 100% for extended periods causing my machine to be useless until I close OBS.

Here is a log file I just uploaded while the GPU was pegged https://obsproject.com/logs/6tXk0DBrMpUOTJ0Q

Here is few things to try https://obsproject.com/tools/analyzer?log_url=https://obsproject.com/logs/BBhmoxjX4TFWHtQa
Turn off Hags, it is known to give issues at this time
Analyzer does give info to help

Thanks for the info. I had turned Hags off a while ago. No change. The above log file I pasted is with Hags off :( I went through all the other suggestions on that page and none made any difference unfortunately. I have since found that just having obs studio opened with a camera active causes the same issue. Don't even need the virtual camera on.
