Hey I would REALLY appreciate any help from you OBS geniuses!

I stream with a 2 PC setup. PC1 for gaming and PC2 for streaming (which has Elgato HD60 Pro PCI card in it)

I also play CS:GO and what I realized recently was that when I turn on OBS on my second PC it creates a extremely slight delay to either my monitor or mouse ( I'm not sure which exactly)

I have a 144hz ASUS monitor as primary monitor and clone that send the HDMI signal out to the Elgato HD60 Pro.

Let me explain the issue because I think it is important you understand what if feels like... so when I'm not running OBS my aim/game feel extremely buttery smooth but when I turn on OBS it makes it feel like my mouse is updating just ever so slightly slower or maybe my screen is? I'm not sure which one but it adds a very very slight delay but it is enough to make a huge difference when I play CS:GO competitively. It almost feels like going from 144hz down to maybe 100hz? or my mouse goes from 1000 hz refresh down to 500 hz or something? I hope that explains it.

I'm starting to think maybe its just normal because of how the capture card works? Got any ideas? If you need more info let me know!

I have the same feeling on H1Z1, I play it competitively and I feel the difference. It just isn't smooth. Have you found a solution yet?
