Question / Help OBS Game serious lag problem

Every time I start OBS (just start programme not the stream or recording) with any game it takes so many fps in game. Please note that with started stream or recording it's even worse.

For example CSGO:
Benchmark without started obs: 230fps (it's stable 200-400)
Benchmark with started obs: 180fps (crazy about 100-220) and It's unplayable, because of lags!

I made a format of my pc and it not helps. I tried deleting all scenes and see what is taking that much fps. Everything is taking so much. I have properly set everything.
I have properly set all windows and obs settings.
I have air cooling, but it's not the problem.

PC:
i7 7700k 4.6Ghz
MSI GTX 1050 ti Gaming X 4Gb
16Gb (2x8Gb) Ram 3000mhz
Asrock z270m pro4
PSU 600W

Monitors:
Benq 87hz (overclocked) via HDMI
Dell 76Hz (overclocked) via DVI-D
Both monitors are connected to a graphic card.
I tried connecting Dell to the motherboard. Also tried setting them to same Hz. No results.

Logs with NVEC (New) with csgo benchmark: https://obsproject.com/logs/b1kQ6FnpPK5HgsNp
Logs with NVEC (New) Idle: https://obsproject.com/logs/5NtrracIn6-73dKf
Logs with x264 with csgo benchmark: https://obsproject.com/logs/B1pRpe7RQbIFYZ0-
Logs with x264 Idle: https://obsproject.com/logs/QcbS06H6XTM21vGQ

I tried old nvec too, but the results are same. 3 months ago everything was alright. I tried older versions, but they didn't work properly too.

Note: I WILL NOT BUY A SECOND PC FOR DUAL PC STREAMING!

Thanks a lot,

Can you explain what the problem is? Is it stuttering or anything? Or are you just concered about the reduction in quanitiy of frames from having OBS open?

21:53:09.160: Windows Version: 10.0 Build 17763

Update to the newest version of windows.

21:53:10.234: fps: 60000/1001

Set fps to 60. Not a huge deal but that is what your games play at is full frames.

Now CS:go is a CPU intensive game. So all of the sources you have in your scene that your cpu has to process will lower your framerate. Even when not streaming because OBS still has to fetch all of that information. Make a new scene with no sources and see what happens.
