Question / Help Is my game supposed to display 60Hz when recording a 60 fps video?

[Varnoxium]

Hello, OBS newbie here -

I was recording some basic CS:GO footage as a way to test my new microphone and see how it performs during recording, but once I began recording a 1080p 60 fps video, my main monitor seemed to run at 60Hz instead of a regular 165Hz, in CS:GO and just viewing my desktop or background, despite CS:GO showing that I was getting ~300 fps from the net_graph. I tried screwing around in the settings, such as setting a fractional fps value (165 over 1) to see if it would resolve my issue, but to no avail.

The main question I have here (as probably mentioned by the title): if I'm recording a 60 fps video, is my main monitor (which is 165Hz) supposed to display 60Hz to, say, correlate with the recording?

2nd monitor has a different refresh rate?

Also, only add one capture source per scene. "Game capture" is the recommended option, "Display capture" introduces forced VSYNC and, unless you do want to capture your desktop, it is the last capture option you should use, only being reserved for specific titles where "game capture" doesn't work.

Yes, I have a second monitor with a refresh rate of 60Hz. I'll take your advice about the Game Capture stuff though, I believe I'm using Display Capture... thanks for the help :-)
