What are the optimal settings I should be using for OBS? I'm capturing from PS4.

No. Add the capture card directly to OBS as a video capture device source. Keep RECentral closed.

If you're still having performance issues after adding it as a video capture device please post an updated log that contains a streaming/recording attempt where the problem occurred. You might also consider turning Aero back on.
