OBS just being open has my GPU usage to nearly 30%

[Michael Boawright]

I have removed everything including my stinger. Just having the program open puts GPU to almost 30% and it just stays there. This is a recent issue and I am dropping frames due to render lag.

Render lag can usually be fixed by running OBS as admin. 30% of your GPU doesn't really mean much since your GPU is likely still running in powersaving mode.

Well this isn't something that is normal. OBS doesn't usually use that much. I've been using it for years. When I am streaming a game it is now up to 99% and causes render lag. I literally have zero sources now and it is still doing it.

Run your game with an FPS limiter so it leaves some resources for OBS, or run OBS as admin.
