latest OBS version DOUBLED the amount of GPU memory consumption!

[DanDudeAmiga]

Is this normal? I suddenly found my system crawling with my GPU memory maxxed out! When I quit OBS, a lot of it is freed! What happened? This didn't happen with the older version!

I already told you in the other thread to disable Hardware Decoding for all of those Media Files. Every one of them is using VRAM...

 

[DanDudeAmiga]

Done. A lot of memory has been removed since. Thank you very much!

Check your log, see if the 3090 is still showing up on the (3) adapters. 0, 1 & 2

The log does show RTX 3090 on adapters 0, 1 and 2. I only have one RTX 3090 and that's plugged into PCI slot 1 (adapter 0).

Exactly. Why is it on all (3) when it physically only occupies (1)? I can't duplicate it on my system. My 3090 is on Adapter 0 & the UHD 770 is on Adapter 1.

Even in safe mode it's showing all 3 adapters. Makes me wonder should I do a fresh install?

 

[rockbottom]

Your system isn't the only one doing this. I've seen it on Intel only systems too. A driver update fixed it in some of the instances but not all.

A fresh install might be worth a shot. Look at BIOS Graphics settings when you reboot, see if anything looks weird in there too.

Also check Device Manager > Display Adapters. See if there's anything greyed out. If so, delete it.

I would adjust this monitor to 60HZ, get it in sync with the other 4 especially if you have v-sync enabled.

Done.
Didn't see that switched to a higher rate as I upgraded to Windows 11 or swapped monitor jacks. I assumed that they were all set to 60Hz as I did that in Windows 10.

Nothing greyed out.

 

[rockbottom]

It's weird for sure. Looked at another log today & that one had the same 3060 showing up on Adapter 0 & 1.

Otherwise, are you running better now, VRAM in check?

 

[DanDudeAmiga]

It's all back to normal since I went through everything turning off hardware acceleration.
