Throttling FPS in OBS Studio. Without running stream or recording!

PC: 7700k Stock, GTX 1070, 2x8 DDR4.

I have the same issue please help

Same boat as you I spent a lot on my PC to still have it have issues at this stage in the game.

Log file shows some possible problems:
- excessive use of browser sources
- high amount of memory leaks (possibly due to the many browser sources)
- Win10 Game Mode is on (should be off)


Create new, empty scene collection, just add game_source + webcam and try again.

Here, basically, I ran around empty, at the end of the log I went into the tomb where there was a drawdown to 60 ~ fps

Still huge amount of browser sources, other than that, the only idea that i have is, that you run more than one monitor and the don't have the same refreshrate (typical Win10 + Gaming Monitor problem)..

I have two conventional 60Ghz monitors. One is connected to the GTX second card to the Intel HD graphics card. The second monitor is old and only has a VGA input

You have yet to post a log with any sort of proper streaming/recording attempt in it, these two are are almost entirely blacklist spam because one of your game capture sources is trying to hook chrome.exe.

Other problems:

1. One monitor is hooked to the iGPU. Hook it to your 1070. Get an adapter. If you are absolutely unable to hook it to your 1070 then you can't put the OBS window on the second monitor, and can't capture anything from it, without taking a performance hit.

2. Your monitors are only 60 Hz. You talk about how your frame rate drops to 60 FPS. I assume this means you're running without vsync or any type of frame rate limiter. This is going to max out your GPU and cause frequent OBS performance issues, because OBS needs some of your GPU power to work too. Turn on vsync or cap your FPS so that the GPU doesn't max out.

But the record then goes, I can lay it out and show it

In general, the problem is urgent. Here is a new log. Problems are observed with AC: Origin

"14:14:35.942: Output 'adv_stream': Number of lagged frames due to rendering lag/stalls: 122 (14.1%)"
GPU overload. Maybe you forgot to limit your fps to 60 to leave some room for OBS to render the scene.

Hello ! after updating the obs I have the same problem, overloading the video card and I lower the fps that I can not do streaming! Does anyone know how to fix this? Thank you !

This is going to max out your GPU and cause frequent OBS performance issues, because OBS needs some of your GPU power to work too. Turn on vsync or cap your FPS so that the GPU doesn't max out.

Is there anyway to limit GPU usage/load (%) of a specific application?

To get the maximum possible FPS in the game and stop cause frequent OBS performance issues...

limit FPS does not fit. Cause in game fps varies from 30 to 90 depending on the scene...

 

[Narcogen]

No. FPS limit is the only way.

Personally I would suggest that if your game dips as low as 30fps repeatedly then that's probably the framerate you should play at, and leave the rest of the GPU resources for OBS to use so that your stream looks good and has a stable framerate.
