If you are using any of the many hardware-accelerated encoders available on desktop today the CPU is not at all limiting. Quicksync can run 9 HD h264 encodes, NVENC can run 4 to 17 depending on the card, etc.
Most OBS users don't configure software encode because of the resource issues.
- eropple 7y agoThis is very true, but it's worth noting that NVENC requires a Quadro card for more than one or two streams (depending on the model).
- cthalupa 7y agoThere are patches for the drivers to remove the limitation. No idea how that affects your license to use the drivers and such, though. https://github.com/keylase/nvidia-patch https://github.com/keylase/nvidia-patch Windows version available in a directory of the main one, too.
