Log of events happening, can provide video of session as well if needed
Prologue:
When I reference "old system/computer" it is this:
i7 4770k, 16 gigs ram DDR3, GeForce RTX3060 with NVENC encoding, Windows 10
"New system/computer"
i7 11500k, 32 gigs ram DDR4, GeForce RTX3060 with NVENC (same video card), when upgraded hardware, installed fresh edition of Windows 10, then updated to 11
Graphics are up to date as of today (even updated to run the test above)
So, title is quick overview.
When running old system, I had 0 issues. Overlays ran without frame limiting, triggers were seamless with no stuttering, Stream Avatars ran with no lagging while running other games. Was pushing computer to upper limits but not peaking anything. 1080, 60FPS, 6000kbps streaming, no dropped frames.
Upgraded computer to "New system" specs. Installed fresh Windows 10, loaded backed up profiles, but decided to reset the OBS software and just rebuild profiles and scene collections from notes I had taken from previous settings, slimming things down. Issues started from day one of new system. At first it was encoder overloads when video card wasn't even reaching 50% usage (cuda encoders were at 80%), CPU is averaging at 15%. It would drop my frame rates from 60fps to around 12, time to render was reaching 100+ms. Started trimming things out, turned off stream avatars, overlays, lower FPS, lower output resolutions, etc, down to just game capture and camera in just one scene, still encoder overload. After a few updates to graphics driver, it seemed to fix some issues with some games causing the overload. Played around with x264 a bit, didn't like the performance of it, it would peak CPU around 80%, but overlays would still lag a ton. Also played around with process priority which did help with SOME overlays but not all of them. Recently I have noticed that the overlays only lag when OBS is not the in-focus program. The video I recorded for this test showed this happening. I've dug around these forums for solutions, but nothing has worked. I'm at wits end, any y'all have anything else to try?
