Problem details: First things off, My PC is an absolute beast and should not have these problems.
Specs:
OBS does not need to be recording or streaming to lag osu, it just needs to be open, even minimized causes low framerate.
optimal or unlimited does not help
OSU! priority is high
OBS FPS do not make any changes in frame rate
I have unninstalled OBS MULTIPLE times
other people seem to have the same problem with my same GPU but in other games (I have tested the same issue with Valorant and it does feel laggy as well)
Important: OSU! with compability mode does help, there are, unfortunately, still some microstutters and it sometimes feels laggy (not as much comparing OSU! in normal mode)
Reinstalling drivers did not work
When fps get this bad I even feel my pen movements behind
My GPU driver's version is 23.4.3 but this has been happening since before.
(just in case)OSU! without OBS opened has 0 problems, runs smoothly, frametime is usually between 0.20 and 0.30(when running on unlimited), issues happen ONLY when I open OBS
If there are some advices that I should try, please let me know.

osu! version: Stable 20230326 (latest)

Are you using OBS' ingame overlay? if so, try disabling it or if you have any other overlays planting themself onto osu! make sure those are disabled or not happening on osu! anymore.

Are you using OBS' ingame overlay? = Not that I am aware of, I have not seen any settings that enables an overlay, even on the video that I linked ( https://streamable.com/mwgw1g ) im pretty sure I can not see any overlay.
Discord overlay is already disabled, the only things I run when i am streaming osu are: Chrome, Discord, OBS, OSU!, OTD(Open Tablet Drivers) and osu trainer(for making special diffs, example tsukinami x1.4)
I have tried streaming/recording with chrome closed, discord closed, osutrainer closed and it still lags OSU!
none of these apps mentioned (that i am aware of) have an overlay enabled, anyway I should be able to see it and I do not see any overlays.

this is a AMD problem due to AMD very bad on OpenGL

Oh ok, so this massive gpu struggles because OpenGL... and is there any way to play osu on vulkan? (I prefer to play normal osu, not lazer)

or perhaps you know any other fixes to this (other than switching to nvidia(which i probably will to be honest))

without obs osu runs wonderful, is just that when i open obs, poop.

OBS and osu! have a struggle with each other for some reason (for A LOT of people, it isnt just you), best I can say is see if you can reduce anything that can be running in the background and make sure that you go through the performance troubleshooting wiki to see if you accidently forgot something. Sadly, Stable doesnt support using other renderers without heavy manipulation on the client (and that isnt a smart idea any way).

Another alternative is to try a different recording/streaming software (I know it sucks and OBS is very user friendly) but it might be better than having to switch graphics cards or even graphics drivers.

I see.. that is a real shame, ill try to work it out, see if i missed something, check the wiki and as final option: use another streaming software, thanks for trying tho! appreciate it
