Question / Help OBS - Elgato HD 60 - PS4 help

[TheMissingLink5]

So I just got my HD60 tonight, and started to preview it in OBS. At first it runs fine, but shortly later it tells me OBS is running to high CPU, I might want to change my encoding speed. I originally had it had 1500, and lowered it to 1000, still get the same response. When I looked at my CPU usage, it was OBS @ 98%!

Does anyone have recommendations on settings for things to look nice and run smooth?

Maybe your computer hardware is not sufficient for running both the elgato hd60 and OBS encoding.
Whats your computer's hardware specs?

Forgot to mention also post your Log, so we can see what settings you are using in OBS as well: https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/problem-make-sure-to-post-a-log-and-or-crash-dump-howto.97/

I'm starting to think my computer just can't handle it. I have an Asus Q501L - Windows 8.1 - Intel Core i5-4200U CPU @ 1.60 GHz 2.30 GHz - 8 GB Ram

This was my latest try which I switch some settings, but then audio started to cut out - https://gist.github.com/a0201db037f56593412c

Yeah, that's an ultra low-voltage mobile CPU, that won't get you anywhere near a good high-res stream.

You can try to massively downscale like 2.0 or even higher. with FPS of 20-25.

Yea, look, the Game Capture software with the HD60 already recommends a quad core, just for recording! with your CPU I would never attempt streaming.
