Question / Help OBS + Avermedia C985

Hello, today I bought Avermedia C985, because My PC with I5-2400 OBS eat 20+% of CPU.http://i.imgur.com/loRQQs6.pngWhat I do wrong? Why with OBS this is take 30+%? When with RECentral only 0-7%. Can someone help me?
RECentral doesn't use the CPU or even use the full scale image, OBS does then encodes it to a smaller bitrate allowing you to stream or record at a reasonable bitrate.
 
Omg, I bought avermedia for unload my CPU and it's impossible with obs? LOLwut, I just lose 100 euro? nice.
How many PCs do you have? capture cards are meant for 2 PC setups and recording/streaming console games through a PC. you probably should have read this in the many sites and details of what a capture card does. capture card's capture, not encode.
 
so better stream from RECENTREL or? ... omg
Ideally there are three options. four actually
1. upgrade PC
2. have a second PC do the encoding
3. Lower your stream resolution
4. Use a hardware encoder like NVENC, QuickSync, or VCE

1.Cost is high but relatively you just need a new CPU and a dedicated GPU
2. cost is high if you dont already have a second PC
3. can be done now just lower quality 720@30 is a good place to start.
4. hardware encoders have poor quality compared to x264 (software encoders) but they use up less CPU
