It also explains how to check CPU usage and highlights points to review beyond OBS settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you wish to lighten OBS operations and enhance the quality of your streams, consider revisiting your settings with these suggestions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hack Collection to Lower OBS CPU Usage! 9 Quick Improvement Tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Various factors can lead to high CPU usage in OBS, but these can often be improved with simple setting changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here, we introduce nine settings to reduce CPU load that even beginners can try immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Change Encoding Method to GPU (NVENC)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>OBS usually uses the CPU for video encoding (compression conversion). Switching to NVENC, which delegates processing to the GPU, may lower CPU usage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u25bc How to change to NVENC<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1. Open OBS and click &#8220;Settings&#8221; at the bottom right<br>2. Open &#8220;Output&#8221; from the menu on the left<br>3. Change &#8220;Output Mode&#8221; to &#8220;Advanced&#8221;<br>4. Change &#8220;Video Encoder&#8221; to &#8220;NVIDIA NVENC H.264&#8221;<br>\u3000\u30fbFor streaming: select &#8220;NVIDIA NVENC H.264 (new)&#8221;<br>\u3000\u30fbFor recording: select &#8220;NVIDIA NVENC H.264&#8221; (or &#8220;new&#8221;)<br>5. Click the &#8220;Apply&#8221; button at the bottom right and then &#8220;OK&#8221; to finish<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>NVENC is available only on PCs equipped with NVIDIA graphics cards. It cannot be used on PCs like the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>PCs without NVIDIA GPUs (only Intel or AMD integrated graphics)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Older NVIDIA GPUs (e.g., GTX600 series and earlier)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If NVENC is not selectable, set the encoding method to &#8220;x264&#8221; and change the preset to &#8220;Superfast&#8221; to reduce CPU load.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Adjust Resolution and Frame Rate<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Appropriately adjusting resolution and frame rate in OBS settings can lower CPU usage. If settings are too high, video might stutter or processing might fall behind depending on your PC&#8217;s capabilities, so finding a balance is key.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u25bc How to change resolution and frame rate<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1. Open &#8220;Settings&#8221; in OBS<br>2. Click &#8220;Video&#8221; from the menu on the left<br>3. Change &#8220;Output (Scaled) Resolution&#8221;<br>\u3000\u30fbRecommended for streaming: 1,280\u00d7720 (720p)<br>\u3000\u30fbRecommended for recording: 1,920\u00d71,080 (1,080p)<br>4. Change &#8220;Common FPS Values&#8221;<br>\u3000\u30fbRecommended for streaming: 30fps<br>\u3000\u30fbRecommended for recording: 60fps<br>5. Click the &#8220;Apply&#8221; button on the bottom right and then &#8220;OK&#8221; to finish<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lowering resolution or frame rate usually does not significantly decrease viewer satisfaction. Start with lighter settings and adjust based on PC load and video smoothness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Optimize the Bitrate<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Properly adjusting the bitrate in OBS (the amount of information when converting video to data) can maintain stream quality while reducing CPU usage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u25bc Why bitrate settings are important<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>If too high&#8230; Puts a load on the CPU and network, causing video stutter and delay.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If too low&#8230; Results in poor image quality and a less enjoyable viewing experience.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, setting an appropriate bitrate is important for balancing quality and stability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u25bc How to set the bitrate<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1. Open &#8220;Settings&#8221; in OBS<br>2. Click &#8220;Output&#8221; from the menu on the left<br>3. Set the &#8220;Bitrate&#8221; value<br>4. Click the &#8220;Apply&#8221; button and then &#8220;OK&#8221; to finish<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u25bc Recommended bitrate settings to lower CPU usage<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Streaming Platform<\/th><th>Recommended Bitrate<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">YouTube Live<\/td><td>2,000\uff5e3,000kbps<br>\u203b Maximum recommended value is 4,500\uff5e9,000kbps<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Twitch<\/td><td>2,000\uff5e3,000kbps<br>\u203b Maximum recommended value is 6,000kbps<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Niconico Live<\/td><td>1,500\uff5e2,500kbps<br>\u203b Maximum recommended value is 6,000kbps<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">TwitCasting<\/td><td>1,500\uff5e2,500kbps<br>\u203b Maximum recommended value is 6,000kbps<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>OBS streaming and recording bitrate guidelines are also explained in the following article.<br><a href=\"https:\/\/alive-project.com\/en\/streamer-magazine\/article\/2440\/\">Recommended Bitrate Settings for OBS: A Clear Guide for Streaming and Recording<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Close Unnecessary Background Apps<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To reduce OBS&#8217;s CPU usage, close unnecessary applications running in the background beforehand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Leaving Google Chrome, Discord, video editing software, or game launchers (like Steam or Epic Games) running can divert CPU resources, hindering OBS&#8217;s performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This can result in video stutter and delays. Closing unnecessary apps is effective for stabilizing OBS operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Launch OBS with Administrator Privileges<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a Windows-specific method, but starting OBS with administrator privileges might lower CPU usage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Normally, it runs on the same priority as other apps, but running it as an administrator prioritizes OBS&#8217;s execution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u25bc How to launch OBS with administrator privileges<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1. Right-click the OBS shortcut on your desktop<br>2. Select &#8220;Properties&#8221;<br>3. Go to the &#8220;Compatibility&#8221; tab and check &#8220;Run this program as an administrator&#8221;<br>4.

Open settings (Windows key + I)<br>2. Click &#8220;Gaming&#8221; in the menu and select &#8220;Game Mode&#8221;<br>3. Change to &#8220;Off&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Update OBS to the Latest Version<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Regular updates to the latest version of OBS are crucial for smooth usage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>OBS updates regularly, and continued use of outdated versions may increase CPU load and result in more bugs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u25bc How to update OBS to the latest version<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1. Open OBS and click &#8220;Help&#8221; in the top menu<br>2. Select &#8220;Check for Updates&#8221;<br>3. Click &#8220;Apply Update&#8221; if prompted<br>4. Restart OBS to complete the update<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Organize Unused Sources<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have unused sources, reduce their number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Leaving unnecessary capture sources, images, and browser windows can raise CPU usage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u25bc Common problems caused by source loads<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Source Type<\/th><th>Issues Likely to Be Affected<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Screen Capture<\/td><td>Framerate drop, stuttering<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Image Files<\/td><td>Increased memory consumption, delayed processing<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Browser Source<\/td><td>Increased CPU usage, unstable streams<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Browser sources run background processing even when idle, so it&#8217;s ideal to remove them when not in use. Develop a habit of adding and organizing necessary materials as needed to ensure stable operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Disable Preview Display<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If your PC has low specs or you&#8217;re using other software simultaneously, simply disabling the preview may significantly lower CPU usage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>OBS&#8217;s preview renders video constantly, increasing CPU and GPU load.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u25bc How to disable the preview display<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1. Right-click the preview screen in the center of the main menu<br>2. Uncheck &#8220;Enable Preview&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If OBS feels sluggish, disabling the preview is a recommended first step. It&#8217;s a simple method but has a significant effect on reducing CPU usage. Give it a try.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Check OBS CPU Usage! Measure the Effects of Setting Changes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Even after changing settings to lighten OBS operations, you might wonder if CPU usage has really decreased or maybe even increased.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In such cases, the &#8220;Statistics&#8221; feature in OBS can be used to check CPU usage in real time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u25bc How to check CPU usage with OBS &#8220;Statistics&#8221; feature<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1. Launch OBS and display the main screen<br>2. Click &#8220;View&#8221; \u21d2 &#8220;Statistics&#8221; in the top menu<br>3. Check the &#8220;CPU Usage&#8221; value<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By comparing CPU usage changes, you can determine which settings were effective, so be sure to note the numbers before and after making changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The following are guidelines for CPU usage:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">CPU Usage Guidelines<\/th><th>Operational Status<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">30% or Below<\/td><td>Stable operation (comfortable)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">50% or More<\/td><td>Slightly high load (consider adjustments)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">80% or More<\/td><td>High load status (review settings)<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, paying attention to GPU usage is also important. Excessive GPU load can also contribute to screen stuttering and delays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you feel OBS is heavy, open Task Manager (Ctrl + Shift + Esc) and check GPU usage under the &#8220;Performance&#8221; tab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Points to Review Beyond Settings to Lower OBS CPU Usage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Even after optimizing settings, high CPU usage might be due to factors outside of OBS itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The following highlights three points to review beyond OBS settings: &#8220;PC Specifications,&#8221; &#8220;CPU Temperature Management,&#8221; and &#8220;Power Settings.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">PC Specifications<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>OBS processes video in real time, necessitating a certain level of CPU, memory, and GPU (graphics card) performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your PC specifications are insufficient, CPU usage may remain high despite adjusted settings, causing stuttering or freezes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u25bc Recommended specifications for running OBS comfortably<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Item<\/th><th>Basic Required Specs<\/th><th>Recommended Specs for Comfortable Operation<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">CPU<\/td><td>Intel Core i5-7,500\/Ryzen 5 1,400<\/td><td>Intel Core i7-9,700K\/Ryzen 7 3,700X or higher<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Memory<\/td><td>8GB<\/td><td>16GB or more<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">GPU (Graphics Card)<\/td><td>NVIDIA GTX 1,050\/AMD RX 560<\/td><td>NVIDIA RTX 2,060\/AMD RX 5,700 or higher<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If you experience symptoms like these, your PC&#8217;s performance may be lacking, so consider a replacement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>OBS&#8217;s CPU usage nearly hits 100% when launched<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Frame drops (skipping video) occur during streaming\/recording<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You receive &#8220;Encoding overload&#8221; warnings<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">CPU Temperature<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If the CPU temperature becomes too high, the PC activates &#8220;thermal throttling,&#8221; intentionally slowing processing speed to lower the temperature.
