Maxes out CPU when I want to record or stream
everytime I open up OBS or Bandicam, the whole game lags like hell and maxes out my CPU. normally the game only uses about 40-50% but open up a recording program and it jacks itself up to 75% or enou...

Battlefield V uses more CPU than older games and at high settings and unlimited FPS easily maxes out your CPU.
Are you using the Hardware(NVENC) encoder in OBS? Does it help if you limit the FPS to 60?
Yeah. I do use NVENC H.264. and in the games settings I have the frame rate limiter set to 200 because it was part of an optimization guide I watched. I'll try it with limiting 60 in a few minutes
Setting the framerate limiter to 200 makes sense for recording when you have the extra CPU power to do it. BFV however easily uses up to 6 cores and your CPU has 4 so, in this case, limiting your FPS to somewhere comfortable below your medium FPS will give you some breathing room for your CPU to handle the recording as well. 60 FPS is probably too low but if it works it will give an indication that this is where the problem lies and that we are on the right track.
