    Recordings are Sporadically choppy/stuttering

    I'm at a loss here. I've tried every fix you can probably think of and there is still this this subtle micro stutter in every recording that happens in moments regardless of settings.

    Recordings come out stuttery and pause a lot. Logs posted.

    Trying to record maximum 4k 60fps gameplay. My video recordings keep coming out as stuttery. It looks like the FPS whenever you blow up 1000 TNT in minecraft. I have a 4090. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? In game is way less laggy than the recording but can get laggy as well while recording.
