Question / Help My PC uses the CPU to encode, but in the settings I changed it to GPU Encoding...

Your log doesn't show any attempt to stream or record. Make sure you include a log from a session showing the problem.

Your logs definitely show you're using Nvenc (new). What gives you the impression that it's using the CPU for encoding?

As a side note, you can help remove your rendering/encoding lag with these changes:
- update windows
- run OBS as administrator
- turn off psychovisual tuning
- turn off lookahead

I just thought it, because the CPU usage of my pc says that it runs at 100%, OBS also said that the Encoder is overloaded. But my GPU is at 30% or something like this...
But also i will try ur other ideas

The Encoder is still overloaded, or is my PC not strong enough?

Post a log file from the new attempt.

Just another thought, using nvenc recording with 2500 bitrate and 1080p 60 fps output , its gonna look unwatchable, bump up the bitrate to 6k-8k for a 1080p stream or more for recording.

Still overloaded!

That's the new log: https://obsproject.com/logs/7e_r7X8Bk_d7ZlFI#
I think the log says that I record with my GPU... Also, my Encoder is overloaded, but my GPU is at 30% or something

As I told you above:
- update windows
- run OBS as administrator
- turn off psychovisual tuning
- turn off lookahead

None of these have been done yet.
