Battlefield 6 is really stuttery but only through OBS

[chicken paste]

Been trying to stream and/or record Battlefield 6, but there's a stutter in the footage every single second. Even if I'm not recording it's there on the preview too.

I've already tried it without Hardware Accelerated GPU Scheduling on and it's the same so I want it on for Nvidia Frame Gen. I've also tried turning frame gen off, DLSS off and limiting the frame rate to 60, the stuttering is still there. I've even lowered the entire game settings to low while doing this and it doesn't help. I've streamed and recorded more demanding games than this before so I really doubt it's only to do with it saying my GPU is maxxed out or whatever.

I run OBS through admin, it's set to high performance in graphics settings and I'm out of ideas now lol. Anyone got anything?

Here's a clip of the stuttering in action, but it also does it even in areas like the firing range (though to a lesser extent) which surely can't be that heavy on my PC because nothing's even going on.

I'm on a 4080 super, Ryzen 7 5700X3D with 32gb of ram, and both OBS and the game are installed on SSDs too if that makes any difference.

I managed to find the cause, seems like OpenVR was making it stutter despite being hidden and not having SteamVR open which is weird. I just disabled them all one by one and then reenabled them until I found what was causing it and it was OpenVR. Thank you though.
