Question / Help Encoding Problem: Lots of stutter unless I use x264 CRF 10 or lower

I just built a new computer with a GTX 1080, high mid level i7, and i'm recording to an SSD.

Log: https://gist.github.com/c5a181715352e3bac9af8191864ac8c7

FPS in Game: constantly 60+ on overwatch at high. (I can do epic but i thought lowering to high would help my recording)

Problem: Every time I record with nvec my frames drop to a constant 30fps when i want to record 60fps.

Temporary Solution I'm using: I can use x264 CRF to record but only with 10 or lower. The best was actually CRF 0 (which i'm assuming is lossless) but that's a huge file size. I have fiber infrastructure so uploads aren't ridiculous but still.

Possible Problem: I think my GPU memory is bugged and will be calling asus for a replacement (for this and other various problems I've been having.)

Why I'm Posting: I just need to confirm that it's possible to record a game like overwatch at 1080p 60fps with a GTX 1080 and nvec encoding. Is it possible? I would think, with my specs, it's possible...
 
Better record to HDD. SSD will die shortly recording on it.

Use simple settings
Indistinguishable quality
NVENC encoder
 
Screenshot of the main gpu-z screen please.

And the log you just linked doesn't match up to the settings I gave you.
 
NVENC:
16:09:45.442: Output 'simple_file_output': Number of lagged frames due to rendering lag/stalls: 1224 (90.1%)


16:12:44.893: ┃ ┣download_frame: min=0 ms, median=0.002 ms, max=361.367 ms, 99th percentile=53.175 ms


Your GPU is maxing out.



Use only 1 game capture per scene

Better use x264. You hace a 6 cores, 12 threads CPU.

I only use 1 game capture per scene. But yeah i'll be doing that from now on until I get my replacement Gpu. Thanks :)
