When I have *Minecraft* opened and I press the record button so I can start recording, once I go back to Minecraft the whole recording has about 1 FPS, and when I go back to the OBS window, everything is working flawlessly. What can this issue be?
Also, I have a video card that I use. It's a Nvidia GT 610.

They don't have a real video card, the 610 is a "throw this in so my monitor works" card. I actually think the Intel HD4600 is more powerful in terms of gaming performance.

I am right to assume the FPS are uncapped and no V-Sync is applied?

Since the GPU is most likely your Bottleneck the GPU is at 100% which due to Windows 10 gives OBS not enough GPU resources to Capture the Game Properly.

Also read the Post how to do Logs again please and only post the Link to the uploaded Log.

Yeah. If I put my monitor and my game to run off my Intel HD Graphics, OBS records just fine. So that means that now my GPU isn't any other use? I don't use extra monitors.

Correct, the GT 610 serves no purpose in that computer, the Intel HD4600 is better and you can even use QuickSync to record 1080p60 without much impact.

You may want to disable some Windows 10 features though to free up some resources for OBS.

Hit Windows + i, goto Gaming
Turn off Game Mode
Turn off Game Bar
Turn off Capture/Game DVR

But the problem is that my CPU is getting hotter. I mean, when I use the graphics card my cpu has 50-55 in games and when I don't use the graphics card it has around 60-65 (+recording).

Oh god, I think i found the problem. I turned off that "Game mode" from Windows off and the recording looks great on both of these displays. Thanks for the help guys! :D *windows 10 sucks*

60-65 Celcius is perfectly fine, especially considering you probably have a stock cooler. Intel chips tJMax is 100 celcius, but you usually want to stay below 75
