Question / Help OBS capture lags with some games, not all.

Hello, this is my first post here.

I've been using OBS for a long time now, on and off, not too much to consider it an everyday program. recently i've started broadcasting, and it's been going well, but I have a glaring problem: some games i capture work well at 1080p60, while others cause OBS to struggle.

I stream GZDoom, and OBS captures it just fine. The only thing in my scene is the game capture layer. No stuttering, perfect 1080p60 canvas with 720p60 output. however, when i try to capture games like PUBG or star wars battlefront 2, the OBS window lags out to 30-35fps, as does the recording. No impact on the game. I use my intel integrated graphics (i5-8600k) to process whatever OBS throws at it, and i also tried AMD VCE with my R9 390, and also x264 software, which all had the same result. I tried changing the priority to higher but it actually made the performance worse.

One thing i did notice, which is interesting, is that when the OBS window is focused, it runs perfectly fine at 60fps, but when i focus one of the "problem" games, the lagging begins.

i put my log files here, four of them which i think should have all the same settings, apologies if they don't.

if anyone knows a way i can fix this problem it would be appreciated. thank you
