Multi monitor OBS rendering issue

Im wondering if someone could help me. I just reinstalled windows and now my OBS is cooked. Previously I had to do something to fix this I just can't remember what it was. Essentially, I have multiple monitors: 2x 144hz and 1x 240x. I play on the 240hz and OBS is on one of the 144hz ones. When I play a game at above 144 FPS, OBS then starts to miss a ton of frames due to rendering lag. I forget what I did to fix this in the past. Previously I was able to play 200-300 FPS with no issues in OBS. any ideas?

4090 and 5950x This was not an issue pre-fresh windows install I know I did something to fix this on the last install but cant remember it for the life of me the culprit seems to be dwm.exe specifically if the game fps goes above the refresh rate of my other monitors again, this was not an issue previously

Make sure windows is up to date (if win10, older builds were suboptimal). Set the 144hz monitors to 120hz. That's all I can think of, unless there is some gsync wonk
