Let's start with the first point and my logs.

Here is also the un-analyzed log. https://obsproject.com/logs/XwWydcBUAZOclR1r
Here is a video I made demonstrating the problem:

Here is the raw recording used in this demo:

I have an RTX 3070 Ti, R5 5600x, and 32GB of 3600mhz ram. When playing any game the FPS is always 120fps or more, and my GPUs encoder never passes 90% load. Neither do the GPU or CPU usages. They're generally 40%ish.
I know I have multiple Game Sources. I use OBS to capture clips of different games and the select window hotkey is too easy to forget, and few of the games I play use proper fullscreen. I have indeed tested fresh and portable installations of OBS with literally no sources, as well as a single game capture source. Changing those things does not make a difference in either problem.
I have a 165hz monitor which I usually leave overclocked at 230hz. Either mode has not made a difference. I always have the Stats dock open which indicates that I'll drop maybe 100 frames due to both Rendering and Encoding lag in over an hour of recording. An hour of 60fps recordings is 216,000 frames (assuming I didn't mess up the calculation which I probably did lol) so 100 fps being dropped that entire time should be essentially completely negligible. Not only that but those frames are almost exclusively dropped when tabbing in and out of the game. That seems understandable to me. However my recordings come out closer to 30fps. Scrubbing through frame by frame reveals anywhere from 5-25fps are doubled every second of video. This is extremely frustrating because essentially nothing is wrong but my recordings come out looking kinda like shite.
And the 2nd problem. Some games report a totally normal FPS when OBS is open or recording. Again usually somewhere in the hundreds. Never ever below 100. But some games will report the same FPS and appear WAY less smooth than they should be during gameplay. Claims 300fps, feels like 30. It generally only applies to games like TF2, Black Ops 1+2, some older stuff etc. But Fortnite, The Finals, Spider-Man, most new games are entirely unaffected. Thought they are not exempt from the first issue of low fps recordings.
