Question / Help Game running fine, local recording at 5fps - extremely choppy

LOG: https://gist.github.com/anonymous/2e2cc06dd4d4aa16c18f96a68f4e3922

SETTINGS SNAPSHOT: http://puu.sh/qqYjK/9a018b2f77.png to make it easier on you.

The output is rescaled because im running a 1440p monitor.

Specs:
i5 4690k
MSI R9 390
24 GB RAM @ 1600 MHz
250 GB SSD for Games
1 TB HDD for OS and other Programs including OBS Studio Multiplatform

Basically the game that I want to record is Rocket League which is running fine at 150+ fps even while recording, but the recorded video file is always extremely choppy no matter what I do. CRF seemed to work best up until now and using CBR didn't work before even at only 1000 CBR.

My temperatures are fine; GPU maxing out at 72 °C and my CPU at 54 °C.
The GPU usage spikes between 60% and 100% but is usually at around 80%.
The CPU usage is sitting at around 50% usage while not recording and goes to 70% usage MAX when recording.
Im using 2 monitors, one 1440p @144hz and one 1080p @60hz.

Maybe the settings that i'm using are the problem? I don't know...

THIS MAY ONLY BE A TEMPORARY SOLUTION

also some people will probably tell you not to do it, but it works for me and it may work for you.

I am somewhat new to this as well. I just posted a thread earlier for a problem like this one and may have a temporary solution at the least for you. If you go into your task manager when OBS is open change the priority to high so that you can allow OBS to be the most important process running. Mine now records with ALMOST no spikes in the recording. Also, with a PC like yours which is 5x better than mine, you may want to just put your bitrate at 999999 to allow OBS to capture however it wants, and have the buffer size at zero.

I know it sounds stupid but it will be a very high quality recording with again ALMOST no lag. If it does not work for you there has to be a problem witth your OBS because even mine is not running as low as 5 fps.

I saw your post and looked at your video, but changing the process priority does nothing. If i set the bitrate to 9999999 and buffer size to 0, I can almost achieve a constant 30 FPS, but if I try to do 60 FPS, even my game starts lagging and the file gets artifacted like crazy.

Yes. I had almost a perfect recording at first, but the next one was choppy again. We can only wait for a reply :/
