Why is obs using so much gpu?

Why does OBS even need to use the GPU? OBS needs GPU time and resources because it has to composite and render a scene. If you want OBS Studio to require less resources, you must construct additional pylons build simpler scenes and scene collections.

Is obs more cpu or gpu intensive?
Does OBS depend on graphics or CPU power? Both, but more CPU for x264 encoding. OBS does need a not-terrible GPU as well, something that cost $100 or more when it came out, if it came out in the past five years, should be good enough. As long as it meets that requirement, the CPU becomes more important.

Is fps more gpu or cpu?
Can a CPU affect how fast a video game runs? The answer is yes, but how much depends on the game. In particular, FPS (first-person shooters) and racing games rely heavily on the graphics card (GPU), with the CPU having only a minimal role.

Does obs use your gpu?
Can I Run OBS Without a Graphics Card? You run OBS without a GPU just fine for the most part. OBS supports both GPU and CPU encoding. Obviously, you won't be able to use GPU encoding, so as long as your CPU is powerful enough to encode your stream/recording, you'll be fine.
