Massive FPS Drop in Minecraft when I try to record with OBS
So when I play Minecraft I set the FPS to 60FPS max so I don't get any frame tethering and I'm always on 59/60FPS unless like a nuke goes off or something then I drop down a bit... I use OBS to record and normally I have no problems yesterday I was recording staying at 59/60FPS the whole time while roaming the world. Today I try to record and I drop to 22/23FPS when I hit record on fullscreen or windowed mode. I don't have the best PC but its decent and because I thought OBS uses a bit of CPU power I got a FX-6300, GPU: Radeon 6870 and 8GB RAM @1600MHz.
I've had this problem once before so I just restarted OBS and it worked fine but today its not changing anything...
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Why does my FPS drop when using OBS?
Frame drops are caused by a render framerate to encoder framerate mismatch. For example, if you render at 100 fps, and the encoder is only configured to handle 60 fps, then it will drop those extra 40 frames every second because the encoder isn't synced to the fps output.How do I fix low FPS while recording OBS?
This is happening because recording uses CPU power, so you lose some FPS. You change change your encoding preset to NVENC to stop the FPS loss (will use onboard video enconder on your 1070 GPU) - follow this guide to do that.BEST RECORDING SETTINGS FOR MINECRAFT OBS (no lag)
