Hi all,
I got a new laptop in the past couple months with decent specs - I can grab these if they aren't present in the log file.
Up until a couple of weeks ago I had no issue with recording or streaming using OBS, however recently my CPU usage can get up to 70% just recording using x264 very fast, and up to 20% using QuickSync (the only other encoder I have available) alongside FPS dropping to 40-50% which is amplified when I try to do anything else on the laptop.
Here are the log files for a short recording as an example: https://obsproject.com/logs/ZiwTTbj5I1YW34pm
When I put this log into the OBS log analyser, two critical points arose:
I checked on Nvidea control panel and OBS is clearly set to high performance NVIDIA Processor
I am not sure why this log report believes I am using intel GPU for OBS. Regardless, does anyone have any suggestions how to reduce my CPU usage, my Specs are better than a number of my friends who don't seem to have these issues.
