elgato 4k pro fps stutter
​
I’ve run into a very strange issue when streaming with the Elgato 4K Pro capture card and OBS.
When I set the video frame rate in OBS to 60 FPS, OBS experiences obvious intermittent frame drops. These frame drops also affect my recordings, causing stuttering in the recorded footage as well.
However, when I switch the frame rate to 59.94 FPS, everything works perfectly with no frame drops at all.
I noticed the official Elgato Studio software shows the video source as 2160p 59 FPS. Do I need to set the exact same frame rate in OBS?
I also tried using a different capture card and set it to 60 FPS, and there were no frame drop issues whatsoever.
This problem has been bothering me for a long time. I really want to keep using the Elgato capture card since it has excellent performance, but the constant frame drops make me unsure if it’s a hardware fault. Has anyone else encountered this same issue?

This is the video I recorded. The frame drops are also captured in the footage. There are two obvious frame drops at around the 12-second and 29-second marks, and they occur in a regular pattern.
