RTX 3070 100% NVENC encoder usage

[Jay_Balance]

My GPU usage literally shoots from 17-25% to 100% as soon as i load OBS in admin (I don't even have to click start streaming, just preview display capture), Can't get Game capture to cap any of my games either..... I have exhausted almost every option at this point and have no idea on how to fix this.....i7 6700k (4.3ghz) and MSI RTX 3070, followed all tutorials online but nothing has helped.
My games carry on playing just fine but while using the NVENC encoder to stream I get mad amounts of dropped frames, very frustrating.....

Please post a log with your issue! Here's how...

In addition, open your Task Manager, go to the Performance tab, click on the GPU section. Grab a screenshot while OBS idle, and a screenshot while OBS is encoding.

So I take it it's my 3d settings?

No solution? Or do I just have to wait for a driver update till I can stream again? :/

You need to contact Streamlabs for support with their software, this forum is for OBS.
