Game Choppy Upon Opening OBS Before Streaming Or Recording

[scaredhairless]

Basically title.
I open OBS (in admin mode) while I'm playing FFXIV, and immediately the game (and thus what's captured by OBS) becomes very choppy before even streaming or recording.

I'm apparently getting over 80 FPS in game but it hitches terribly.

CPU: i7-9700k @ 3.60 GHz
GPU: 2080 TI
RAM: 32gb

Should be noted I'm playing the game on 3840x1600 and scaling it to 1920x1080.

Please help :/

also, OBS is running around 50 % CPU at idle. I have 11 bootstraps but only 4 are active, but it appears they are eating up everything.

Please do a short stream or recording then post a log from that session Otherwise the log will not show that OBS is doing
Try locking your game to 60 FPS

also, GPU is only hitting about 40-50 percent while CPU is hovering around 90 percent
