Question / Help Video Footage and Obs Capture window lag

I have recently upgraded to, two new monitors and new gpus, since then this issue has occurred, where I have no game lag, but the footage when completed is laggy and so is the capture window.

I have seen a few other threads stating the same issue but no fixes that have helped me.

I've upgraded to a 165hz monitor and 2 x 1080ti's in SLI, I would like to state that it isnt the gpu's being under too much load because the lag is equal when I have the game on max with 165hz set to when i have it max 60hz, also tried 100 and 120 both the same problem. This happens with every single game. Here is my log

Your setup is not the best for capturing. I don't know best practice for SLI setups. The general trend for gamer hardware setups is to move away from SLI because of the many small incompatibilities and instabilities it brings and the mediocre performance increase in comparison to cost. As far as I remember, it is recommended to disable SLI if you want to game capture something with OBS.
