These are the logs: http://pastebin.com/w0trWkdA

This is for local recording and local recording only, following this guide: https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/how-to-make-high-quality-local-recordings.16/

This is ArmA 3 (Borderless Window) on Monitor Capture.
These are the exact same settings I recorded with prior to the upgrade, and got a stable 30 FPS.

I might be willing to downgrade to test it to be honest, wouldn't be too much time off my day.

I should mention I am OC'D at 4.17 GHz: http://puu.sh/jisvT/63dce49900.jpg just took that real quick to prove it.
I've been running this stable for a very very very long time now.

edit: Just tried DayZ @30 fps, downscaled 1.50 so 720p, with monitor capture.
Still drops FPS frequently. This is in an area where I was getting 90 fps or so. Mentioning this cause I know DayZ isn't the most STABLE game.

I had just tried DayZ two hours before upgrading, ran smoothly and fine at 1080p @ 30fps with the same settings.

Also -- Sorry if it seems like I'm acting like everything SHOULD work. I don't think it should, at all. It's a completely new OS, so I figure there will be optimization issues :) Assuming the OS is the issue. Just trying to give feedback so things can be resolved as soon as possible. <3

edit 2: I got bored and downgraded to Windows 8.1

Logs: http://pastebin.com/u6xDKkLC

Exact same untouched settings, except I get a stable 30 FPS.

---
edit 3: Reinstalled Windows 10.

Same results.
Decided to try ArmA 3 at: Window capture, Monitor capture, and Game capture.
My settings were downscaled at 720p, Lanczos filtering, and 30 fps. It just kept dropping along the 20's and rarely remaining at 30.

I really do think it's a Windows 10 issue, as I literately just tried this on 8.1.

Sorry, I should have been more specific, can you post your logs like this:

I'm having the exact same problem since upgrading to 10. I've tested every game I have with Obs set to 30FPS. FPS bounces between 12 and 30 the whole time, whereas it was a constant 30 in 8.1. I'm sure it is Windows 10 itself especially considering the trouble they are having with in-game FPS atm. To be honest I'm about to roll back to 8.1 just so I can consistently game and stream again.

I just got home, so I'm going to sleep soon. When I wake up I can try different things like windowed capture, game capture, and downgrade my OS to show logs, if required.
Here is the log file from a quick "Preview Stream" I did with monitor capture, and ArmA 3: https://gist.github.com/anonymous/aad74446da678d60d3e7

edit: forgot to mention; had the same experience as before. dipping in frames only in obs capture/preview/recording. in-game framerate is totally fine.

Have you tried disabling Game DVR in the xbox app?
I just tried this, it gave a slightly more stable experience playing from eye (watching the fps on the OBS display on my second monitor) with the occasional drop down to 28. If you would like, I can upload a logfile with it disabled when I wake up.

edit: yeah, tbh, seems about the same with it disabled. dips and then goes back up.

Really? What games are having FPS issues? All mine perform the same, the only issue I'm having is with OBS :(

I disabled the Game DVR and still having the same issues in OBS. As to the games, World of Warships and CS:GO are running at a bout 1/4 to 1/2 less FPS than when using 8.1. DayZ and Arma 3 still perform the same. Was reading the Microsoft forums and apparently a lot of people are having the same in-game issues. The new 353.62 driver from Nvidia seems to be conflicting with Windows 10 especially for those of us with multiple display setups.

If it helps, downgrading is really easy -- and upgrading again is also really easy.

If you go to control panel, and recovery, you should have a button that says downgrade to Windows 8.1, as long as you didn't delete windows.old.

If you want to upgrade again, simply get the media creation tool off Microsoft's website and run it, and hit upgrade.

Move both your monitors to your Main GPU and of course, make sure that SLI is disabled.

Is that what I should try for the framerate issue, or just for him? :)

I did post the monitor capture log, is there something else I should try?

Just him. Post your log like this please, I cannot read pastebin from here for some reason:
