Yup. At this point I'm just guessing it's an issue with the OS since I'm using one of the insider preview builds. That's the only thing I can come up with.
Question / Help Laggy Output but low CPU usage?

Setting it up that way tends to cause OBS to stall or cause other weird behavior, which could potentially cause the CPU usage warning.

Yea it just never occurred to me that it would cause that kind of an issue with the CPU usage.

I mean you need to use constant (predefined) input before changing any settings, not only to get some "points" from a benchmark. The fr-043 has a lot of moving objects, panning scenes, dark zones, uses a lot of video card power and maybe not running very smooth, but always in the same way. This is hard work to encode in real time with low bitrate (your main goal).

So I reinstalled the OS back to a non-preview build and it didn't do a god damn thing. What the hell is wrong why can't I get it to work?

Anyone? The computer itself is about 2 years old but I've upgraded the CPU, GPU and added more RAM all within the last year.

Shooting in the dark but are your Webcam and Elgato plugged into the same USB Header?
Try doing a stream with your webcam unplugged entirely.
Your setup is so cookie cutter that non straightforward thinking might need to take place, there is no reason for you to be skipping any frames with your setup.
Also, make sure you have GameDVR disabled
To turn it off on Windows 10, open the Xbox app, go to settings, go to Game DVR and change the slider to OFF.

I already know it's going to be something that has absolutely nothing to do with either OBS or my card. It's going to be some random ass setting that no one would ever think to check lol.
I already have tried multiple PCI ports for the HD60pro, and multiple USB's for the webcam, nadda.
I shall try the game DVR thing tomorrow and see if that changes things. I'll keep you posted.

So now after trying it again this morning, everything bugged out. My Elgato would freeze, and the program would crash upon deleting it. So I uninstalled it and I CANNOT REINSTALL IT because I get this message. Seriously OBS?! I'm just about done and ready to try XSplit at this point this is ridiculous. https://gyazo.com/9cd3abf9c15b96d0888ffa23dd481d7d

Your system (or antivirus) is messed up with rights. For future, never perform the installation in windows 'Programs' folder. Create 'Progs' or 'MyProgs' on C: drive and install all your programs there. Because defence system may kick you off before you can update or delete any file from default folder (better if you will be the owner of the folder). And, go ahead with xsplit, the man who write part of it, was known by free capture driver first, then...
Unpack zip version of the OBS Studio to any other folder, run it, forget about install.

It's not the rights or the antivirus. I've tried installing as admin and I disabled the antivirus and it still does that. I'm just EXTREMELY frustrated that my system is completely bugged up for some reason.

So I got it reinstalled by basically luck and got everything set up the way it was before. Anyone have any more ideas as to what could be causing this?

Source running at high fps (no vertical sync, monitor at 200Hz)? Did you check it by Fraps?
post a current log with recording attempt. Try fr-043 as input.
Mitchell Kane

Monitor and everything is 60Hz. It's a capture card for an HDMI input so I'm not exactly sure how fraps would be of any help....

Holy crap I think you might be on to something. These were the readings I got when I ran Realtemp: https://gyazo.com/098fd837c15a967e056c1730e9c93cc3
That was while streaming at 720p 60fps, and watching the stream at the same time. Was hitting high 70's - low 80's when OBS was only in the preview, not streaming or watching stream. They sit high 40's - low 50's when the system is just running normal.
