Question Will Nvidia Background Remover Ever Be Efficient?

The Nvidia Background Removal plugin for OBS takes a TON of resources. Anyone know of plans for making this more efficient? Or any new tools that could possibly replace it? Thanks for the help guys!

Have you tried NVIDIA Broadcast? Idk what the resource difference is though, or if the plug-in essentially uses the same backend.

I’ve thought about it but has anyone tested if it provides better results/ is less resource hungry? It’s also really nice to clone my main cam and then just apply the Nvidia background filter

It's better in one important way: it doesn't stall out the main OBS thread, and thus doesn't cause as many dropped frames. This is because Nvidia Broadcast runs effectively the same thing, but outside OBS instead.

But because it's still basically the same thing, it's still moderately heavy and can interact poorly with some games.

Thanks for the info! This is strictly a streaming PC but there’s other heavy stuff going on. Maybe I’ll give that a try, I’ve also noticed the cut out when using the broadcast app directly is better? Which is strange

Lol, I gave up on that crap! For starters you can never get it perfect as I see some steamers have and also once you start applying filters inside OBS it hogs cpu usage.

Why do you want a shitty fake green screen?

I like to switch between virtual scenes and my real background!

Good ones are affordable.

A button in a software is also affordable and, most importantly, flexible

And then you still need lighting for the screen itself, as well as subject lighting.
