10% FPS drop just by running OBS

Hi, I'm back trying OBS for the first time since 2014 or 2015, when I was trying to find a program to record videos on my old R9 290.
However same as back then I get a pretty big performance hit when using OBS.
I did a few runs of CP2077 benchmarks:
Nothing running: 66 fps
Shadowplay recording (replay): 64 fps
OBS just launched (no preview): 62 fps
OBS replay running: 60 fps

I also tried both AV1 and NVENC codecs, no difference.
Is there a way to improve the performance?
