To record CS:GO with OBS and avoid lag, first, make sure your OBS settings are optimized. Lower your recording resolution and FPS settings in OBS to reduce the load on your GPU and CPU. You can start with 720p at 30 FPS and adjust from there. Also, select a high-performance encoder setting like 'NVENC' (if you have an NVIDIA card) or 'x264' for lower-end systems. Remember to close unnecessary background applications to free up resources!

Just use NVENC (if you have an Nvidia graphics card). It offloads the encoding to the GPU, which should reduce game lag significantly. Short and sweet.

Honestly, OBS might not be the problem. Check if your PC meets CS:GO recommended specs. Upgrading your hardware might be the real solution here.
