Question / Help Quick Capture Card Question

I'm currently running a pretty good PC setup (32GB ram, i7-7700, gtx 1060) but some games (Bo4) have been pushing things and causing a few render frame drops. I've been trying to figure out if getting a capture card like an Elgato would actually provide any additional performance. I know I would run the HDMI from the monitor but in OBS I would just grab the capture device, I'm trying to figure out if that would actually reduce the strain on my system.

Thanks in advance!

1. No
2. Make sure you don't have Game Mode enabled (Windows+i>Gaming>Game Mode)
Thank you! That's what I was figuring but I thought I'd ask people that may know better than me. And ya Game mode is off, just a super intensive game it seems.
