Windows is out of date. See link at the bottom.

19:42:02.191: Output 'adv_file_output': Number of lagged frames due to rendering lag/stalls: 12 (2.2%)

Rendering lag caused by GPU overload.

19:42:02.192: Video stopped, number of skipped frames due to encoding lag: 13/537 (2.4%)

Encoder overload.

19:41:50.774: [jim-nvenc: 'recording_h264'] settings:
19:41:50.774: rate_control: CBR
19:41:50.774: bitrate: 40000


Don't use CBR for recording with NVENC. Use CQP and choose a quality level; 15 is pretty high, 25 is... not so high.

19:41:44.601: - source: 'Display Capture 2' (monitor_capture)
19:41:44.601: - source: 'Mic/Aux' (wasapi_input_capture)
19:41:44.601: - source: 'Game Capture' (game_capture)


Don't mix display and game captures together in the same scene, it is non-performant. Put these in separate scenes or better yet separate scene collections.
