Hello to all readers, developers, and just fans of the program. I have a question, I find it difficult to configure correctly obs on my computer and want to know what people have helped?T he fact that the computer I have a strong, but when I start to record video, the processor is loaded quite strongly. Parameters of my computer: Intel i7 (3770), 8GB RAM, Amd Radeon HD 7800, SSD 200gb, internet - download 90 mbps, upload 95 mbps .
My task: to write with Twitchy broadcast through Google Chrome (or another browser?) on SSD in good quality (1080p).
Can someone help me with the correct settings that will not hog CPU up to 80%, in order that I could still run record?
and another question, can I run obs in two windows for parallel recording?

I'm sorry for my bad english and sorry if not properly created the theme. Thank you all for your time.

Yes, I have read the manual, but not until the end of his realized that the author has in mind.

I write from the site Twitch broadcast games, and sometimes with the client of the game DotA 2, the picture quality is very good, but the computer itself "suffers" obs processes up to 40% of the load and sometimes more

Sorry but your question doesn't make any sense. I understand that English may not be your first language but you'll have to be more clear if you want a response.

I record the game. Games are broadcast on Twitch. I write games on the computer and I need the correct settings for the program, which will not take up the processor to ~ 80 percent.

You're not duplicating frames. Your CPU usage should be fine, or else your duplicated frames would be higher.

Just increase your bitrate, I suggest to about 20,000 (buffer as well). You can set your profile to High if you want, since you're saving to disk, not streaming it. And you can set your keyint to auto or something like 5 seconds. But I don't see a CPU problem here.

Edit:

I see now this:

I record the game. Games are broadcast on Twitch..

So are you Local Recording, or Streaming, or both?

Your settings are fine right now for Twitch. Make the changes I put above for Local Recording. If you're doing both, then go with the settings now. What makes you complain about the CPU usage? Its fine from the logs.

Its acceptable if you increase the bitrate. The other settings can optionally be tweaked as mentioned in my previous post.

and what the optimal bitrate for local recording? and another question, obs can be run in two windows? to record two different broadcast. thanks you for answers

You should determine the bitrate for yourself experimentally. Too small and the quality is bad, too large and you waste disk space. Only you can determine the proper tradeoff. I personally use 20,000, but I know people use up to 50,000.

You can run two (or more?) instances of OBS at the same time, more info here: https://obsproject.com/forum/search/176565/?q=portable+multi and here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_14KsWslxc . Of course, your computer needs to be able to handle it if you do this.
