Question / Help Choppy Video Recordings and Preview Playback

[Wompdonkey]

I just downloaded OBS and have watched several videos on how to set it up and read on these forums how others have rectified this issue. I have had no success. My frame rate is fluid in game but in the preview window and in the recording it's abysmal. I've posted the log below (I think)

I wanted to add what I've changed in an attempt to resolve the issue:

Encoding:
Encoder (tried both x264 and Nvidia NVENC)
QB - 10
Bitrate (from 8000 - 20000)
Buffer size (0 - 1500)

Video:
1080p
30 & 60 FPS (issue better but not resolved at 60FPS)

Advanced:
NVENC Preset (High Quality)
Encode Full Range (checked and unchecked)

I have gotten the issue to be minimal but, the recorded product is grainy and almost sun bleached. The choppiness is more subtle than before but still evident.

And also try disabling the gamedvr in the xbox app.
