Hi, for some reason when using OBS studio my game has massive FPS drops from 80 to 24ish every 3-4 seconds. Normally when I play the game I get over 150 FPS and I limit to 80. But when I have OBS open even if it isn't recording everything it causes massive FPS spikes. The problem goes away when I close it. The thing is I don't know why this is happening as I'm not even recording anything its just open in the background. I also have a pretty high end laptop so it should be able to handle it. I even put all the setting really low but it still gives me FPS spikes.
Any help is appreciated!
