im trying to record local footage of cs go with obs but when i use it the game begins to lag somewhat. pc specs : r9 270x,
fx 6300
and 8 gb ram. i run cs go max out at 200 - 300 fps w/o obs and w 50 - 80 (you would think fine but at this fps it is laggy) any help to fix this problem would be appreciated. I record in window source also if that helps. log 1: ask for the second if you need

It's because you're streaming at 1920x1080 60fps. Go in to video settings and use downscale. Preferably at least 1.5+ downscale to reduce CPU usage, possibly even more.

For your CPU, I wouldn't recommend it. You could try setting the "x264 CPU preset" in advanced to ultrafast and see if that helps.
