Question / Help Game Capture/Monitor Capture Lags if window FPS is Greater than 100

For some reason, if I have a Game Capture on a Window, That is currently "Active" and is sending more than 100 FPS to the Display, OBS (NOT THE GAME) will LAG to 30~fps if not lower.

BUT, If I dont have it active (Alt+Tab out of the game), it runs perfectly fine and OBS is running at 60FPS.

NO, its NOT my specs.
i7-7700k, GTX 1070, 32gb RAM.

CPU is always around 2-3% regardless what I do.

If I set the FPS to 100 or lower, everything is FINE. If I set it to 101 or higher, the fps drops, the higher I set it, the more FPS it drops. (Again, not talking about the game here).

I heard its something to do with OBS having to work extra hard to record the 100+ frames and cap it to 60. Is this why? if so, is there any fix, id prefer to run my games uncapped.
