Question / Help Encoding Overloaded When Recording

Hello!
Recently I've wanted to start recording my Overwatch games (competitive player, want to watch my gameplay back to learn from it) but whenever I try i get the message "Encoding overloaded! Consider lowering your video settings or using a faster encoding preset". The problem is, it only happens with Overwatch. I've tried it with other graphically intensive games and they've been fine. I don't think it's my computer being inadequate (full specs below) so it must be something with my settings. I've tried a bunch of fixes i've seen on other forums, and they just haven't worked, so i'm really hoping someone can help.
Settings- 1080p 30fps, 2500kbps, CBR, x264 encoder
Specs-
Intel Core i5 6600k at 4.5Ghz
Nvidia GTX 1060 6gb
AsRock Fatal1ty Gaming k4 MOBO
8GB G.Skill 2400 DDR4 RAM

Reduce to 30 FPS
Rescale only in video settings (use bicubic or lanczos filter) and leave output settings rescale unchecked
Yet encoding lag?
Encoding profile: change to superfast. Last option: ultrafast.
