Warzone Maxing my GPU at 99% load

NVENC is only an option if there is headroom left over from the game. If his GPU is maxed then NVENC won't be an option.

I mean, it's definitely an option, but using that option may result in a bigger fps drop than using his CPU would.

It's a separate thing.

NVENC is NVIDIA’s encoder. It’s a physical section of our GPUs that is dedicated to encoding only. This means that your GPU can operate normally regardless of whether you use this region to stream or record.

Ahhh, my bad, thought NVENC was newer than that. He's probably using his GPU as well then.

IIRC, there are two versions of NVENC.

NVENC is only an option if there is headroom left over from the game. If his GPU is maxed then NVENC won't be an option.

The encoding chip works independently of the GPU.

Interestingly enough, when running warzone, my cpu is only around 55-65% use, while my GPU is at 99%. Other games my gpu usage is much lower

Well, how you measure your GPU usage? What are the "other games"?
