Playback lagging

[kdn1]

I've been using premiere pro for a while, and for that time playback has always been laggy. I figured the problem was my processor, because it didn't meet the requirements to run premiere pro. So, I bought a brand new processor, and intel i7 9700k with 8 cores to be specific, and playback is still just as laggy. when I used my old processor with premiere, it showed it was using 100% of it in task manager. But, with my new processor, It's only using about 30-40%. So my processor can do more to make premiere run smoothly, but just doesn't. Anybody have any solutions? Really annoying that I bought a brand new processor just for it to not solve the problem. I have an nvidia geforce gtx 1660, 16 gb of ram, and an intel i7 9700k

How many and what kind of hard drives... SSD or spinning platter?

What are you editing... SD or HD or 4k video?

sorry for the very late reply. I'm using an hdd drive, and I'm editing 1080p 75 fps gameplay videos. I'm starting to think maybe the problem is obs is using an encoder that premiere doesn't like, but I'm still not sure

You might be right. Make sure its set to constant framerate and dont go over 60 fps.
