Question / Help why does OBS tax my GPU by 25%?

[Rxzlion]

OBS is taking 10% of my GPU resources just by being open on a blank scene.

When I add sources it goes up to 15% and when I record with NVENC it goes up to 25%.

From what I know and read about NVENC it's not supposed to tax the GPU because it has a dedicated hardware inside the GPU and I can see hat hardware is being used when I use NVENC.

so why does OBS tax my GPU by 25%?

Without a log, impossible to say.

Please post a link to a clean log file. To make a clean log file, first restart OBS, then start your stream/recording for ~30 seconds and stop it again. Make sure you replicate any issues as best you can, which means having any games/apps open and captured, etc. When you're done select Help > Log Files > Upload Current Log File. Copy the URL and paste it here.
