Encoding overloaded but low hardware usage (Local recording)

The issue I'm having here is that, whenever I record with OBS it says encoding overloaded and drops frames, even though the CPU, GPU, RAM, and VRAM aren't used much at all
Specs:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 3800x
RAM: 64 gb of G.skill ripjaws V 3200
GPU: GeForce RTX 2080 Super (8gb)
OS: Windows 10 Pro
Known Good settings (these work):
Resolution: 1920x1080
Encoder: NVENC
Storage drive: M.2 NVMe SSD
Format: MKV
Rate control: Lossless
Preset: Max Quality
Profile: High
Look-ahead: Enabled
Psycho Visual Tunind: Enabled
Max B-Frames: 4
Color format: RGB
Color space: SRGB
Color Range: Full
Bad settings that cause issue
Resolution: 2560x1440
Encoder: NVENC
Storage drive: M.2 NVMe SSD
Format: MKV
Rate control: Lossless
Preset: Max Quality
Profile: High
Look-ahead: Enabled
Psycho Visual Tunind: Enabled
Max B-Frames: 4
Color format: RGB
Color space: SRGB
Color Range: Full

under both settings GPU and CPU usage is low. but it's for some reason much lower on the 1440p resolution, almost like OBS is refusing to use my hardware (yes it is being ran as Admin, and it's priority is set to High, it's not doing anything it still says the same thing

You've changed advanced settings which disable hardware acceleration. I'd suggest making a new profile and using the defaults, they are defaults for a reason.

I fixed it. I historically used the RGB color format because I heard somewhere it was the best quality (I have the space to do so) and it's been working fine on 1080p, but upon further research it would appear I444 offers the same quality as RGB but it has the ability to use hardware encoding (actually uppon further testing RGB isn't even a multi-threaded conversion)
