Hi,
I regularly stream from my laptop since a year (Acer ConceptD 7 Ezel, NVIDIA RTX A3000, i7-11800H) with OBS, with very correct results, never had any trouble streaming any game at 1080p and 30fps.
I recently got an AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT and installed it as an eGPU with a Razer Core X Chroma. Installation went fine, games are using the eGPU without any problem and performance was higher, so the GPU is functional on that part.
However, when I simply start OBS, the CPU reaches 100% use, and everything becomes laggy. I almost can’t stream anymore, while it was doing fine before.
I couldn’t find any help elsewhere, as everybody recommends lowering specs, but I didn’t get a better GPU to stream at a worse quality, this is nonsense.
Why is the CPU even impacted? Is it something relating to AMD’s encoder?
As always, here is the log: https://obsproject.com/logs/0hdZNZcYkOZ8TLdC
