Question / Help Bizzare Framerate Problem?

No matter what I set OBS to record at, it always records at less than 10 fps. And it's not even while I'm playing, my in-game frame rate is always great, but the footage has terrible FPS. Here's some footage.

You can see I'm getting very good frames in-game, but the recorded footage has bad FPS. I currently have OBS set to record at 40 FPS, but it doesn't.
Anyone know what's wrong?

I'm not entirely sure about that. Possibly.
His FPS in minecraft are all over the place aswell tho. I feel like a logfile is required.

First off, update to the latest version of OBS.

Your CPU cannot keep up with encoding that framerate and resolution. You need to downscale, and set your framerate back to 30. Your GPU also might be holding you back, here. Try to play the game in a windowed mode and use Window Capture instead.
