I am new at this so take it easy on me but whenever I record fortnite, my finished recordings always come out laggy and choppy but i do not have any fps drop in game while recording. I've watched a bunch of youtube videos on settings and different things to get it to run smooth but nothing works. I just built my pc 3 days ago so everything is brand new and working fine and I know its plenty powerful to record. I'm using
cpu- ryzen 9 3900x
gpu- Geforce 2070 super
memory- 16gb ram
MB- asus prime x570 pro

If you guys could help me figure out what could be the problem that would be great because all I want to do is record in 1080p and not have it lag when I watch it.

If reducing the encoding lag in your log to zero does not solve your issue, then the problem is playback. Use VLC if you aren't already.

16:01:05.272: lookahead: true
16:01:05.272: psycho_aq: true


16:02:52.174: Video stopped, number of skipped frames due to encoding lag: 34/6410 (0.5%)

Lookahead and Psycho-Active Tuning both incur additional load.

Lookahead in particular should not be used with high motion content.

15:58:33.674: YUV mode: 709/Full

This should be 709/Partial.

16:01:05.272: [jim-nvenc: 'recording_h264'] settings:
16:01:05.272: rate_control: VBR
16:01:05.272: bitrate: 50000
16:01:05.272: cqp: 18


For recording use CQP rate control, not VBR.
