is it normal %50 %60 CPU usage with 2 camera and one window source even no recording or streaming?

[gotofourths]

I use OBS 30 on Ubuntu 22.4 8gb ram 4 core
Core(TM) i7-3687U CPU @ 2.10GHz
The cpu usage is about %50 -%60 (not less never) even not recording or streaming.
Is it normal?
Thanks

[Update]
I removed and reinstalled OBS and now CPU usage is %11 ... Strange but its great... Happiness Is A Warm Gun!

Depending on what you're doing, your system load could be anything. And a constant high load is perfectly fine. As long as it never tries to exceed 100%, and you have enough cooling to never throttle, you're good.

Like a good media processor, OBS is always processing everything. The only part that turns on or off is the encoder: the last step that takes an already-finished series of frames, and makes an efficient bitstream out of it without throwing away *too* much detail.

So if you have a lot of sources and a lot of filters, then yeah, OBS is going to take a fair amount of CPU all the time, to run that.
