Elgato Lagging Really Badly

So I got an Elgato game capture HD60S+ to stream to twitch and did a test recording to see how it worked about a week ago. I recorded some Nintendo Switch gameplay and the recording turned out great. Little to no lag was present in the full hour-plus recording. Fast forward to today and I boot up OBS Studio and the picture is extremely laggy. I didn't mess with any settings (not to my knowledge at least) so I'm not sure why it worked amazingly last week and looks like a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation today.

I've checked this forum for solutions and none of them work:
- Buffering is set to Auto Detect
- Resolution is 1280x720, the default resolution of the system (I even tried manually changing it to 1920x1080 but that didn't work either.)
- Got rid of any potential sources in the scene that could've been helping with the lag but even when it's in a scene by itself, it lags.
- GPU is running at 4% capacity when OBS is recording/streaming, my computer can almost certainly handle streaming a baby switch game.

If there's any additional info that you would need to help me please let me know!

Just want to throw an update out there
After working pretty much all day to figure out what this issue could be, I'm sorry to say I still don't have an answer, but I got it working again. After plugging it into every USB port on my computer, I guess it found one that it likes so now it seems to be running at a smooth framerate. Still, if anyone can find a solution to this problem, that would be fantastic. Thank you!
