Hi Folks,

I've been using NVENC up to now, when I switch to x264 the preview window is very glitchy/stuttery, it's not maintaining a smooth 60fps. However, the OBS process CPU usage is extremely low <3% total and there are plenty of CPU cores available. 12 cores available and it doesn't seem to be making very much use of the resource at all. Any ideas?

Thanks!

How is your GPU load?
Should stay below 90% to allow OBS to render the scene (which will always be rendered by GPU, even it it will be encoded by CPU).

Maybe one of the developers / supportes of OBS can post something about Multi GPU systems. From what i heard, multi GPU might run even worse with OBS.
You could try to enable the multi adapter compatibility mode in the game_capture source of OBS, which is designed for SLI systems.
