Question / Help Frame drop and tearing when OBS is open.

[Legion_Reaper]

So I recently put my first PC together, and been streaming in it for a few weeks. And I've noticed I have a issue with PUBG only. Verified with Apex Legends and CSGO last night. All I have to do is have OBS open, and I notice frame drops and screen tearing. I have had all 3 frame counters up, monitor, steam,and nvidia. To see which one may be dropping or changing. They all stay locked pretty close to 144FPS. With dips in the high 130s. Excuse my ignorance, I am new here obviously. Any tips would be appreciated.
The odd thing is, I can run PUBG, itll run great. I open OBS, it goes to crap. I close OBS, it stays crap until I reset the system completely.
Things I've tried:
Changed encoder setting from medium to fastest
Changed from x264 to Nvenc
Changed bit rates
Lowered in game settings to potato mode
Lowered frame rate in game to 60
Tried hiding preview
Tried turning off adaptive sync
Tried 30 FPS output
Updated drivers. Latest version of OBS
System
Ryzen 5 3600 @4.2Ghz @1.27v
MSI 2080 Super Gaming X Trio
Corsair h115pro
M.2 SSD 1TB
650w Gold
I've streamed Apex Legends and CSGO without issues. Just seems to be a pubg problem.

Tried more things last night, I tried opening OBS before PUBG and it ran great. For a while. Then I started seening the tearing and skipping again. Anyone ran into this issue? (Will post a log this afternoon)

General suggestions.... do them one at a time and test:

• Turn off OBS preview (right click and disable) and restart OBS. This, if you have multiple monitors and they all have different vertical refresh rate.
• Lock frame limit in game (if available) to your gaming monitors refresh (e.g. 60FPS=60Hz; 120FPS=120Hz; 144FPS=144Hz; 240FPS=240Hz)
• Update Windows 10. Head to Settings | Display | Graphics Settings (link at bottom) and turn on the following

Thanks for the response. I have tried those unfortunately. game fps is locked to 144, tried preview on and off. Tried going to a single monitor, tried freesync on and off. No luck.
