Bug Report Opening OBS Causes MASSIVE Frame Drops.

So I have used OBS for almost a year with no problem, recording and streaming. However within the last week I've had this problem where when I open OBS it makes my game fps drop BADLY. I don't even have to be recording for the FPS to drop. I run Minecraft at 300 frames no problem, but when I open OBS and full screen Minecraft I get like 20 FPS, and again not even recording just having it in the background. I never even had any FPS drop when recording but now I get FPS drop just when OBS is open. I tried different versions and looked up ways to fix it but found nothing. I will link a video I took with Shadow Play of the issue. Any help would be appreciated.

EDIT: It was because I had a NVIDIA driver (one of the new ones) that I guess didn't work well with OBS. I uninstalled it and I no longed have the problem.

No recording/stream attempt in that log.
Make sure, the Game is not running at 300fps. Limit FPS to 60 or 120.
