Hi everybody!
So i'm the streamer of Starcraft 2 (not such a strong game 4 any hardware) and ofc i'm using obs 4 my streams. I have not so cool hardware but enough 4 streaming sc2 in 1500 bitrate. I've allways had something like 20% of CPU usage by OBS with a stream online and it was perfect! But some day ago i noticed huge lags on my stream, looked in obs and i saw 90% OF CPU USAGE!!! In silent mode without stream online its nearly 60% (not cool man). I looked 4 every thread about CPU usage here but nothing about my problem with obs.
So i try to conclude everything:
1) I have not modern hardware, but its enough 4 Starcraft 2 stream in 1500 bitrate in 1280 reso.
2) All the time before yesterday OBS was using 20% of CPU with stream online.
3) The usage of 90% of CPU started just yesterday.
4) I didnt update OBS.
5) I didnt update windows.
6) I tryed to reinstall obs, install obs 32 bit (but i need 64 bit), install Stream Labs obs. All the same
7) i'm using x264, cos my GeForce dont support NVENC :)
My hardware:
Intel Core i5 760 2.80 4 CPUs
4096 GB RAM
NVIDIA GTS 450
Windows 7
My stream settings:
1500 kb bitrate
720p
1280x720
30 fps
Very fast
Once again, i know my hardware is old, but i never had problems with a stream before yesterday. I put the screen of StreamLabs OBS just because its the last version of obs i tryed and it's on my computer right now. (On the screen the stream is offline)
You can look on my recordings of streams, when everything was good: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/402486040
