Believe me. I am as much as surprised as you.
It just started some days ago. Maybe a week (last update??). My game streaming lose performance suddenly and was almost unplayable. And it happened just by launching OBS. Not even recording or streaming. Just launching it.
I switched my CPU to a Xeon 5675 a month ago. Works perfectly and I am very pleased with the results. Anyway I checked for CPU load and it was barely at 20%. Hard disk and memory usage was also normal.
Then I noticed that the GPU fan was a lot less noisier when that happened. I checked the GPU load and it was at 100% in both cases with and without the performance loss (which was also normal for being very old). But having a less noisier fan with a 100% GPU load doesn't make sense unless the GPU is working less than it should.
So I checked the GPU core frequency and memory frequency and voilà! Found what is happening.
To be sure about the origin of the problem. Things I did
- Clean reinstall updated graphic drivers (problem persists)
- Reinstall OBS last version (problem persists)
- Reinstall OBS previous version (problem disappears)
- Update to OBS last version (problem reappears)
- Downgrade to OBS previous version (problem disappears)
In the attached captures you can see the FPS at the upper right corner and also highlighted the GPU frequency and memory frequency in both cases with OBS lauched and without it. From a core freq of 725/1000Mhz it drops to 400/900Mhz when OBS is launched
My computer has the high performance profile enabled in case you wonder. Here's my log

Is that a bug? Some setting wrong? Any help will be much appreciated.
Thanks!
