96.2% GPU Encoder Overload
The encoder is skipping frames because of GPU overload. Read about troubleshooting tips in our GPU Overload Guide.
Critical
Hardware-accelerated GPU Scheduler
The Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling ("HAGS") feature added with Windows 10 is currently known to cause performance and capture issues with OBS, games and overlay tools. It's an experimental feature and we recommend disabling it via this screen or these instructions.
Warning
Old NVIDIA Drivers
The installed NVIDIA driver does not support NVENC features needed for optimized encoders. Consider updating your drivers by downloading the newest installer from NVIDIA's website.
