Using the recommended settings in the guide located here, as well as tinkering with some settings myself, and through contacting Elgato themselves, and running through the same settings, and trying different ones as well, we've come to the conclusion that OBS seems to be mishandling the device somehow.
For a short while, the lag-free display works fine. Then, after a while of playing, the device begins to suddenly drop below 60FPS. The passthrough still shows buttery smooth, but the recording as well as the preview lag behind up to a second after a mere five minutes or recording. This is not dependent on the machine itself, as the test machine in question has the following specs:
CPU: Intel Core i7 5820k OCed to 4.4Ghz
RAM: 64GB Corsair DDR4 @ 2000Mhz
Video cards: 2x ASUS GeForce GTX 980 Ti
The problem is consistent no matter which machine I use. Even a beastly gaming laptop suffers from the same issue.

Considering I use OBS as my primary streaming and recording software, I'd very much like to see this issue looked into. I really would hate to have to switch back to XSplit just to be able to stream using my Elgato devices without dropping below 60FPS.
