I am trying to use window capture to capture a game that I get 400-500 FPS in. The preview looks very smooth and good, but when I'm playing the game it feels really choppy. I play on a 144hz monitor and feel that the capture is limiting the monitor to 60 fps, or atleast it feels like that. Not sure, and if there is any fix, please let me know!

If possible, avoid window or display capture for games. Use game capture.
If that's not possible, limit your ingame framerate to something useful...in your case I suggest to limit the fps to 120, so its compatible with the 60fps recording and in the range of your monitors refreshrate.
If you use more than one monitor, try to avoid having hardware accelerated content on the second monitor (like Videoplayback, Webbrowser or OBS Preview). Maybe minimize OBS or disable OBS live preview for testing.
