i recently built a second pc for recording my gameplays and I quickly ran into some issues with my capture card.
Just so you know, before posting I have tried MANY things and the outcome is that my monitors refresh rates of both computers affect the preview of my capture card (and also the refresh rate of the capture card itself) but also the refresh rate of OBS. That's too many ''refresh rates'' in the same post and I'm sorry for this but I'm running out of options here.
So far, the best workaround I found only for one game (gta 5) has been to lock my game to 60fps and set my streaming rig monitor to 60 hz also and then into OBS set 59,94 as output FPS and set my capture card settings into OBS to match the same framerate. However this for example doesn't work for other games like Batman Arkham Knight. I didn't have the time to test many other games yet but anyways I just wanted to know if ANYONE of you have ever ran into this and found a fix ?
To describe the problem a little more the recordings look smooth and then the framerate dips down hardly to the point that's really noticeable for like 2-3 seconds and gets back up looking smooth and this goes on and on forever. This can happen 2-3 times a minute so it is quite annoying.
I tested this on elgato 4k60 pro mk2 which was worse and then switched to Avermedia live gamer 4k which seems to run smoothly overall but it still doesn't feel buttery smooth. I built this second computer in hope to get perfect recordings but it's doesn't seem that easy at all.
Any help would be appreciated.

also: reached out to elgato and they said something might be wrong with my GPU (on the gaming rig) but I cannot be sure for now cause I haven't tried with another gpu yet
