30% performance loss while OBS is running (not even recording)
Hi! I have an issue with my OBS which is very resource consuming
I know that I have complex overlays with filters and animated elements, however my gaming scene is very minimalistic
The issue is that whenever OBS is running, I lose around 30% of FPS on games i'm playing
A 120 FPS game would run at 90 FPS most of the time with unstable framerate where a 60 FPS game would run around 40 FPS
I don't even need to have a stream or recording running to have that by the way
Here is an example log where I was just recording gameplay on Helldivers 2, and went from 60 FPS average to 40 FPS average
So I did a few tests and some files were quite heavy on OBS, however I still lose 10 to 20 FPS with OBS running (not even recording or streaming)
The curious thing is that my GPU is not 100% nor my CPU so I don't understand why I'm losing performance if they are not running to their max
