Hello, I've started to experience a weird issue recently with OBS. Until Saturday when I changed my GPU from a 2060 Super to a 3070, I was able to use OBS & Nvidia Broadcast using the camera background removal filter & play PC games while streaming them without much issue (apart from the 2060 struggling in some situations).
Ever since I installed the 3070, when I use Nvidia Broadcast with OBS my GPU utilization hits 95-99 even when streaming a console game (i.e. not playing a PC game, nothing is using my GPU). Even in that situation, I am still losing frames, my stream is very choppy and something is going very wrong. This is using the NVENC (new) codec for streaming & recording outputs. Even with the background removal filter on broadcast disabled and using nvidia broadcast as the camera source, the utilization stills hovers around 90%. If I don't use broadcast at all for video, GPU goes back down to the standard 30%.
I've tried turning on/off game mode, hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling, I've set the card in nvidia control panel to "prefer maximum performance" mode, I even set up a 2nd partition to do a clean Win 11 install with just the drivers, OBS & nvidia broadcast - problem persists. Rolling back to the previous driver version - problem persists. In GPU-Z I see VRel & VOp as PerfCap reasons with GPU voltage 1.0750 at 99% GPU usage (not sure if this is too low, I don't know the stock voltage ranges of the card).
My specs are:
Thank you for any assistance.
