Greetings!
I'm having some issues with OBS struggling that I didn't have before I upgraded to Windows 10.
My game will be running perfectly fine (100+ fps) but the fps in obs will drop way below 60fps even when not streaming or recording (Obs is idle and fps in obs drops).
The games I am playing with this issue are both Rust and The Forest.
I am using Display Capture to capture my footage.

PC specs are
I7 4790k oc'd
1070ti
16gb ram.
I just upgraded from a 970 yesterday. I am able to bump up my settings now but if I don't turn on Vsync or cap my frames Obs still looses frames.
My main goal is to figure out a way around this without having to resort to vsync. I have 144hz monitor and it's tough to stomache letting those extra frames go to waste
 
BUMP

This happened after I manually updated to the latest OBS, and latest Windows Update. I even double checked that my Nvidia Drivers were up to date via GeForce Experience.

The FPS reading in OBS will go from 60 down to 25. But the entire video is choppy garbage.
