Great PC, but having trouble with HIGH fps Streaming/Recording

I know I am going to probably get roasted for wanting to record in high fps, but I like the way frame blending creates motion blur and I just really want this to work.
I just started streaming again and editing content. I don't care about how high my stream fps is, but want to record my highlights in high fps. I've done research and found out that there isn't really a way to do that without opening two instances of OBS, but even then I cannot capture the same game unless I use display capture for one of them. So I am in a position of configuring settings where I can stream/record at 240 fps. I feel very confident that my PC can make it work I am just monitoring/doing something wrong. The issue I'm running into is that my stream/recordings will start to get very choppy/laggy but my GPU utilization does not go too high when monitoring it with MSI afterburner. I have successfully streamed/recorded at 120 fps. I've tried turning my settings down, limiting my in game FPS, closing outside programs like Discord and Wallpaper Engine. but I just can't figure out what is the best way to go about this. I can stream/record at 240fps max quality individually the issue only comes once I try to do them both at the same time. Extra info, I am only recording Valorant and I'm not that educated on GPU specifics.

There is some rendering lag so your GPU is slightly overloaded, you may need to reduce the in game quality to get rid of it.

Most of the lag is encoding lag. I made some changes below, update your settings & test. You may need to use a lower Preset but I think P3 or P4 should be OK. There more in the log but let's see how the encoding goes with the changes below. Post a new log when finished testing.

I think having such high presets for streaming was my issue, i lowered them and noticed no real quality difference. I also unchecked psycho visual tuning from recording but I did a test stream for 8 minutes that was fine. In the past when I have tested things wouldn't start getting choppy until 15-20 minutes, so later tonight I will do a longer test.

Here is another log file with P5 instead of P4 and I turned CQP from 20 to 18 and around the 3 minute mark started lagging/choppy.
Might just have to do a long test tonight with P4

Yeah, P5 is too slow for that GPU. Those tests were done with a 4090, a bit more of everything there...

You used P3 & P4 here. As you can see there is still rendering lag, your GPU is overloaded. You can dial back the game quality settings or lower the monitor from 240 to 120HZ to reduce the load. The rendering lag needs to go. Use P3 for both encodes on the next test.

So I just did a 5 hour stream and didn't have a single issue other than my application audio beta glitching out and echoing a crap ton. Gonna look for a fix on that but overall very happy with the results. Recordings/stream looks decent enough, I was under the impression that using different presets would make the quality degrade dramatically but I honestly can barely notice a difference. If you have anymore tips on a setting that would be worth testing let me know. Also, if you're interested in checking out the results I'll post a link of my last stream. Thank you for the advice I really appreciate it.

Getting there, not done yet, still have some minor rendering lag & clean up. It appears that there were also (2) concurrent encodes running on the multi-RTMP output? Look at the end of the log.

I don't use Application Audio for that reason, no fix yet AFAIK.

Check both the recording & stream tabs, uncheck rescale output.

Check Texture Filter Quality in the Nvidia Control Panel, if it's set @ Max Quality or Quality try a faster setting, Performance or High Performance. Throughput of the GPU will be increased (almost 2x) with little to no visual impact. Might eliminate that slight amount of rendering lag.

I went ahead and routed my voicemeeter banana last night so the audio is fixed.
I have rescale output disabled on stream and recording.
I changed my Texture Filter Quality to performance and will start stream soon.
Couldn't find Game DVR settings but I think it's because I have the game bar disabled.
Not exactly sure about the Noise Suppression filter but my mic quality sounds fair.
Change sample rate to 44100 but I don't even use my webcam audio for any inputs so I'm not sure why it is being tracked.
Will send a log later-on in a separate reply.

About the same as the previous test. Very slight rendering lag & the audio is still lagging as well. The RTMP multi-out is still in play but the settings aren't being logged, are you using "Get From OBS" for the A/V encoders? Need to account for what this plugin is doing.

Also need to account for Source Record as that was used too, just like the multi out, no settings were logged.

The Nvidia NR Filter message is normal, I tried both Speex/RNN & the message was in my log with either enabled. Information only.
Switching to 44k is fine but all devices need to be changed. Focusrite & Voicemeter are still @ 48K.

This is in every log. Not sure what's the source.

I ran a test on my system, all good. We're on the right track. One thing I noticed, since the framerate is so high, the number of lagged frames is much higher than normal when switching Scenes. Wonder if some of your lag is happening everytime you hook the game capture. Keep on eye on the stats window when you test.

I'm not sure if the AMD iGPU's are worthwhile with OBS but there is one on the 7900X, might be useful for the Multi-RTMP/Source record encodes if it works. That's what I use my iGPU for, it would be to be enabled/vetted on your system...

Your streams looks good. Have the source playing side by side in Edge with no acceleration & FireFox with acceleration. Stats are up, 240FPS is being maintained nicely, not much fluctuation at all. Frames are being dropped on playback but it's smooth.

Still testing. Change your encoding Tuning to HQ on at least the recording. Low Latency adds unnecessary load & @ 240FPS no need to worry about latency, it's already smokin'.

No lagged frames over here until I switch both encodes to LL & then it gets ugly.

Just finished another stream, I didn't do v-sync because valorant doesn't have that option.
I changed my audio settings in voicemeeter and focusrite.
Changed to HQ on both recording and streaming!
I also quit capping the framerate in-game just because I like to try and get as much fps as I can while I play.

v-sync is in the Nvidia Control Panel. If using "On" enable Triple Buffering too, If you're trying "Fast", no Triple Buffering is needed. Fast does not work correctly with some games.

Remove the Frame caps, v-sync will cap the frame-rate.
