Encoding lag in fullscreen game capture

Hello everyone.
I've been trying to record some gameplay and I kept getting alot of skipped frames due to encoding lag so I tried lowering my settings and changing presets so many times but still couldn't get a clean recording, my pc is quite old but I didn't think it would be this bad. However, I noticed that when playing in windowed mode my recordings are smooth and without lag, getting literally 0% skipped frames. So I was surprised and i'm wondering if this is normal or not, and of course my goal is to get the same recording in fullscreen as i'd rather not play in windowed mode.
Game is Dark Souls Remastered and I play at 1280x720 and recording at the same resolution if that helps.
Logs for both captures:
Fullscreen:
Windowed:
