Whenever I open OBS Studio I instantly drop 30-50fps in game. I have literally tried everything. I have searched every corner of the internet and tried every possible thing I could find. I have even gone as far as to completely reinstall windows. I am feeling completely defeated here....
System Specs:
CPU - 3950x (water cooled)
GPU - 3090FE
RAM - 64gb of 3600mhz
I play in 1440p on a 144hz monitor. Triple monitor setup with all monitors set to the same hz.
What I have tried:
I have reinstalled every program and OS.
I have tried multiple settings in both x264 and NVENC
I have tried multiple different settings within game including lowering quality. I mainly play Warzone where the biggest fps drop occurs. But I tested in Destiny 2, Apex Legends, and COD Black Ops and they all drop from 20-30fps. Warzone when OBS is closed I flex from 130-144fps. When open and a blank profile and scene collection selected I drop 30-40fps, with my profile and scene selection (that I have used for years) open I drop up to 50fps. When I start to stream it drops another 5-10 (which I expect).
Pretty much every little setting adjustment you can find regarding this. (i.e. game mode on/off, prioritizing game over OBS and vice versa, setting in-game frame limit, etc.)
I have gone threw all my sources and turned them off and selected "Shutdown source when not visible" I do use StreamLabs and StreamElements and I will say they do help if one or both are off but we are talking 5fps max. Not 30-50.
Just to be extra clear this is effecting my in-game fps NOT my OBS fps.
What I haven't tried:
Taking a sludge hammer to everything.
In all seriousness, this has been the most maddening thing I have ever dealt with. All I want to do is get back to streaming. And I don't mean to sound cocky but I feel there is no reason for me to be having this issue with the system specs I have. I came from a i9 7900x and 1080Ti and had zero issues like this (with Apex and Destiny 2, I didn't play Warzone on that build).

Any help would be greatly appreciated and thank you in advance.
PS - Always opening OBS as admin too.
