Question / Help OBS Dropping Frame While Encoding With NVENC, but not with x264?

Hello everyone,

Lately, I have been experiencing a strange problem. When I try streaming with OBS Studio using a NVENC encoder, I will have periods during the course of the stream where my bitrate fluctuates wildly and I drop a bunch of frames. This typically goes on for 10-30 seconds, and then balances again. However, when I stream with x264, this does not happen. Everything is stable.

Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this? For reference, I am using a i-7 6700k 4.0 Ghz processor, and a GTX 1060 3GB video card.

Here is the log:
