Output 'adv_file_output': Number of lagged frames due to rendering lag/stalls: 2667 (67.6%)

You are overloading your GPU. Reduce in-game settings/resolution or cap your frame rate (reduce GPU load in some way). You may even want to consider upgrading your GPU because that's a lot of dropped frames.

Your GPU is maxed out. OBS uses your GPU to render frames and composite the scene. If you are maxing out your GPU, there is no GPU power left for OBS.

I have an Elgato capture card hooked up as well is there any way to use that to lighten the load and still capture at 60 frames at ultra settings with no lag? And use separate audio channels?

Basically yes and no.

Certain games you can and can't.

A GPU intensive game like BO3 on max settings (as it already hogs your vRam and GPU by itself) would be difficult to handle.

If you want a decent recording at 1080p60fps, lower the in-game settings or record at 720p 60fps. Easy as that. Alot of big youtubers realized that most people only watch their videos on phones, and typically the common resolution for modern phones is 720p 60fps (not saying that other phones don't go above)

But if you're dead-set on 1080p 60fps, you'll have to change the settings in-game for a GPU intensive game.

Now a CPU intensive game you would be able to play on max everything just fine.

If you're still unhappy with this answer, record using nVidia share, it'll have less of an impact on your system than OBS will.

I've thought about usimg Shadowplay it works much better frame wise however it doesn't allow different audio channels like I have with ONE. Right now I have OBS giving me separate audio for in gsme audio and mic. I've heard Bandicam is a good way to go as well but I'm honestly having a hard time figuring it all out. I do also have the software that comes with the elgatp capture card which is decent but isnt very customizable.

Going back to OBS I've fiddled with the settings. Lowered it to 720p, still skipped frames. Lowered it to the lowest possible setting still skipped frames. This is with and without playing games while recording too. No matter what I did it would lag.

Any suggestions?

I just read your post. I'm in same situations I've tried everything you've done as well. I love shadowplay but I like how easy OBS has separate audio tracks. I can't make anything work. Let me know if you figure it out.

That's exactly why I prefer OBS. The separate audio tracks is crucial for any kind of content creation. I'll keep you updated when I find a fix.

So I got OBS to stop doing the frame skipping.
However when I'm done recording it seems like it's only having one audio file present. When I'm watching the gameplay I can only hear only game audio and not commentary/mic audio. However when I put the file into my video editing software it's there and you can hear both. It's very odd. The quality also goes up when Import the video. It looks choppy and kind of leggy but once I put it in premiere it looks all good it's kind of strange lol.

I am using a crappy gpu: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3400 and a cpu of Intel Core 2 Duo T6600. I am using a lenovo Ideapad Y330 and the output is skipping frames all over the place. I have tried increasing the bitrate and decreasing the buffer size. It has gone a bit better. I have also tried decreasing the cpu usage by switching to ultra fast. Also, I have set the priority to high in settings (not task manager). What else can I do to help?

I'm having these issues now actually. I just uninstalled OBS and am reinstalling it to see if it defaults its settings to suit my PC but if not then I'll be dropping OBS altogether. This is getting absolutely ridiculous.
