Insane lag when trying to record Nintendo Switch gameplay.

I get insane lag when I try to record gameplay from my nintendo switch, when I take off the elgato HD60S+ video card and just simply plug in the switch into my monitor, I have no issues whatsoever, but when I plug in my elgato capture card and boot up obs I get an insane amounts of lag, it is purely unplayable, everything seems fine so I have no idea what the problem is, I have also loaded up a log "https://obsproject.com/logs/JDY7ti39D9qhoa8p" I'm at the current windows 10 version, I've clicked on check for updates twice and I am up to date, as you can see in the log I'm running the app as an administrator, the only problem I could see here is that the pc has been running for too long or something, because with my laptop it records just fine but then it feels a bit laggy after a while however my laptop has a button with an icon of a fan (it's a msi gaming laptop) which makes the fans louder but the laptop itself runs smoother, so when I push the button instead of looking a bit laggy it turns back to normal as if I just booted up the laptop, my desktop perhaps may just have the same problem, except it doesn't have a button that makes the pc itself run smoother, another things is that my laptop is actually stronger than my desktop (the one I'm using right now writing this) so yeah. So that may be the only problem either that or the spec of my desktop are too weak but I highly doubt that.

test constant bitrate (CBR)

set your energy settings to fullspeed

please check your temps with coretemp

have you connected other devices to the USB3 ports?
look that you only have the elgato on the USB3 root hub with this programm you can open all trees an send here a screenshot so we can check it

Check USB 3 Drivers Up to date
I fixed the problem, the issue was that i put the elgato usb 3.0 into a 2.0 port and I didn't have any 2.0 ports left so I put my keyboards usb 2.0 cable in the usb 3.0 port. I reversed it and it works now!
