I'm NOT using NVENC and I even have the preview window turned off.... its just a white obs window and it rips me for 10% of my GPU for no reason at all.... I haven't even started the stream or anything and its taking up my GPU power for a WHITE WINDOW on my desktop.... why???

The scene still has to be composited even if you're not showing the preview. Keep in mind your GPU may still be in low power mode when no game is running, so 10% of low power may be 1% of full performance.

well in a game like R6S it costs me 10-15 fps just to open OBS.... that's before I start streaming. I REALLY wish there was a way to get rid of the preview all together. I don't use it at all. I also have low power mode turned off. Also whats the point of hiding the preview if OBS is still rendering it???
