FPS instantly drops upon opening OBS!

As title says... my frames in any game I play instantly drops once I click to run OBS.
Example: I'm playing Cod: Warzone, I have the game up and running with around 100 fps and then i click to open OBS and upon opening the application, my fps drops to 40-50. This happens every time to nearly every game i play. So i tried streamlabs hoping it would be different and yet its that same.

PC under the hood:
CPU - Ryze 9 3900x (12 core, 24 thread)
GPU - RTX 2080 IT Xc
RAM - 32 gb Trident Z
MOB - Aorus master
using Windows 10 updated and updated gpu.

I build this pc to stream and create videos and since I built it I haven't streamed any because of the FPS drops makes it unplayable at times. Today, i bought elgato capture card to stream from my laptop thinking this would solve the issue. But to my knowledge I still need OBS open on gaming pc to recognize the display. At this point I'm unsure what to do.
Thoughts?
