Quick question, does anyone know what kind of PC do you need to use the 2nd encoder, or should I say, are QuickSync encoders bugged or something with this Plugin, maybe NDI doesn't play nice with it?
Do I need a high end GPU for it to work properly?
I wanted to try and push more bitrate to Youtube vs. Twitch on a streaming PC (same everything, just a different encoder for the data), and I figured if by default OBS uses 20-30% for a single encode pass at the highest settings with Quicksync, than 2 at same time will be 70% at worst.
Hell, dropping options cuts that cost in half about.
However, not only does the 2nd encoder use about 10% more power (30-40% on average) even if the main OBS stuff itself isn't streaming, or if no options where changed, but even if I "RESCALE DOWN" with the Plugin (1080 > 720) the entire PC starts lagging like crazy, it gets a lot worse if upscaling (it can take 30 seconds to stop the stream) and everything becomes extremely unresponsive (again, this is only with the Plugin 2nd Encoder active, OBS itself is not doing anything still, it's not even recording).
I can't even imagine how bad it will get once I start actually using both Encoders at the same time, while hitting the 90% CPU Usage out of nowhere.
I figured there is something wrong on my end, because the math doesn't add up, even if both encoders running at the same time need extra power, they shouldn't be lagging the entire PC to it's knees with same exact settings, while also dropping frames (in some cases it drops the 2nd encoder from 60 to 43 FPS).
Cheers in advance!
