Question / Help Lag/stutter when recording locally

Hello! Thank you in advance,

So I've been having a lot of trouble recently trying to record via OBS. Everytime I load up a game on my PC and try to record, the footage stutters and skips frames every few seconds. I'll post my latest log below. I'm running OBS on a 60hz monitor and gaming on a 144hz one, it is UNBEARABLY laggy if I play at 144fps so I cap my second monitor at 60 and it helps a bit but it stills stutters; even dropping my settings as low as possible makes it lag. My PC can definitely handle these games (Apex, Batman, Destiny) at MAX res 1440p.

Also recording PS4 footage via Elgato using OBS doesn't lag, ONLY PC gaming.

Things I've tried:
Running OBS on same monitor as game
Using Game Capture instead of Display Capture
Capping both monitors to 60hz
Redownloading OBS

I never had this issue before

My specs:

Ryzen 5 2600
NVIDIA RTX 2080
Corsair 32GB RAM
1TB EVO SSD

Please help lol
