NEW MACBOOK OBS STILL LAGS

I’ve never had many issues with OBS and my (older) Mac but most recently I purchased a brand new MacBook Pro and OBS is now basically unusable.

I’m not computer savvy but I believe it’s an encoding issue.

OBS is reporting a 95% frame drop and basically makes my streams unwatchable and completely laggy.

Now I’m also wondering if it’s my new lap top but I really doubt it, as Photoshop runs smoothly while i stream.

I don’t have much running on OBS either other than screen capture (I paint digitally on stream)

I’ve tried lowering the bitrate, tried lowering the FPS and I’ve messed with the encoder setting to no avail.

the specs for my Mac:
MacOS Catalina
1.4 GHz Quad-Core intel core i5 processor
8GB RAM

I just really want to know if it’s the laptop or OBS compatibility. This way I can take this thing back and finally get something that runs windows.

your help is greatly appreciated!
