I'm sorry but I do not know much about the proper terminology needed with regards to this but hopefully someone can still help me out. Recently I bought a new computer with an elgato hd60 pro and its pretty high end, what i noticed is on the elgato software my game runs at a smooth 1080p 60fps, ive tried various games such as furi which have bright moving colors that move consistently at a high framerate and on the software its very smooth. When I go to my OBS however, even if im not recording or streaming yet, the video looks like its almost getting hung for a second, thing is the audio on both my yeti and the game audio, or even my friends audio will sound fine in the process.

Easiest way to show you whats going on is this:

if you watch as soon as i start driving the bike or any other scene for that matter really, if you watch when there is motion youll see that its not like the picture is getting distorted or im loosing frames its almost like a frame is overlapping on top of another so its causing a jolt. The thing my eyes are telling me is effected is the FPS but im receiving no dropping frames, im very confused as to what exactly to call this issue but i hope someone can assist, thanks in advance.

Update

I have managed to figure out that on 720p it works fine but as soon as i switch it to 1080p it starts hiccuping. I know that the easy solution is to say "then stay at 720p" and i will until this gets resolved but i have a i7 6700k 4.0 ghz 32 gb of ram a 8gb 1080 gtx AND an elgato hd 60 pro so I do not understand why I can't blast the quality. More importantly i do not understand why i can't blast the quality even while not actually asking it to do anything all while again mentioning the fact that in the Elgato software I am running full speed with no issues whereas with OBS im not.

No stream attempt in that log. Capture cards won't reduce performance impact of software encoding in single PC setups.
 
Can you try recording or streaming only, not both at the same time to try and reproduce the encoding lag issue.
Also your run 64 bit version of Windows, any particular reason as to why you don't run the 64 bit version of OBS Studio?
