Question Apps run very slow when playing games

I have been trying to use OBS and play games but whenever I tab into my game, OBS runs at like 10 fps and the CPU usage says its 1% in OBS but the game runs fine, then when I tab back to OBS everything is fine.

I have tried changing the CPU priority on the games, steam, other apps and OBS but nothing has worked, even reinstalling the games and OBS didn't work.

I suspect it has something to do with Windows 10 or my RAM, but I don't want to make a purchase if I done need to.

CPU = Ryzen 5 3600
GPU = Nvidia 1650 super
RAM = 1 X 16gb 3000mhz (old)
RAM = 2x8gb 3600mhz (new)

What resolution/bit rate are you capturing at?

I wasn't even capturing it.

I tried to stream it a few days ago before the new RAM came and that's how I noticed the problem, and when I started paying attention to OBS I noticed that it was lagging when I tabed into the game.

With the new RAM it's less leggy but still bad.

I capture at 3k to 5k bitrate.
