You are overloading both your GPU (for rendering purposes) and your encoder.

00:37:29.813: Output 'adv_file_output': Number of lagged frames due to rendering lag/stalls: 468 (9.3%)
00:37:29.813: ==== Recording Stop ================================================
00:37:29.814: Video stopped, number of skipped frames due to encoding lag: 1161/5012 (23.2%)


00:35:59.523: Game DVR Background Recording: On

Also, you should probably turn that off.

You need to either reduce fidelity or cap framerate in your game to preserve enough GPU resources for OBS to render frames prior to encoding.

You're overloading your GPU. You need to cap framerate, reduce fidelity, or make other changes to allow OBS access to the GPU it needs for rendering frames prior to encoding.

You're also overloading your encoder but not by as much, so I'd look at freeing up GPU resources first.

I Tried changing the resolution on the computer and it seemed to be able to record so i may have to turn the graphics down

Hit Windows+i, goto Gaming>Game Mode

Turn it off. I see you have the others turned off but Game Mode is the most important one to have off

so i think the restarting worked but obs is taking my frames and making my game feel choppy but im still at like 80 fps why?

144Hz monitors do not play well with 60Hz monitors and OBS. When OBS is visible on your 60Hz monitor it forces your 144Hz monitor to 60 Hz, this is why it feels choppy even though you have high FPS.

The only real solution is to minimize OBS. It's not just OBS that does this, it's anything hardware accelerated on a secondary display running at a refresh rate lower than the main. It's a Windows 8 and 10 bug, "feature"
