Question / Help OBS FPS drops in half

The other day my obs fos started dropping from 60 fps to 20-30 fps at 720p. I was streaming 720p/60 fine for weeks then one dAy it changed. I dont recall any major updates or anything significant happening that might cause this.

I have messed around with all the presets, profiles, encoding, resolutions, bitrates, ect to see if I could isolate the issue. I couldn't find any one setting within obs that would change the fps dropping. Then I tried lowering my games resolutions and turning on Vsync. Nothing changed. I dont have game mode on and I have my pc power set to performance. I checked for thermal throttling and my temps are fine. So I’m really at a loss as to why it is doing that so randomly. It does it in streamlabs OBS as well. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Here is a log file from one of my test streams: https://imgur.com/a/YUtRuno

My obs settings are as follows for twitch

Encoder: X264
