OBS GPU Spikes on certain games

Hi,

So I've been looking through a lot of forums for answers and haven't seem to have found what I'm looking for. I have a few games (Hunt showdown, star citizen, dead by daylight) that will not use 100% of my GPU but sometimes I will get a stutter that will appear to be a slow down followed by a quick catch up. I have been monitoring my OBS during streams and recordings and I notice that randomly OBS GPU usage spikes from 10% on average to randomly anywhere from 30-70% which is when the lag happens.

I have tried using OBS Log Analyzer and it shows Rending Lag and GPU Encoding Overload but I have tried the fixes they recommend and I am still a bit confused as with some of these games, like Hunt Showdown, my GPU never passes 70% but my OBS will spike to 50% then my overall GPU will hit 100%

Update: Is also happening when just leaving the program open but not recording or streaming just having it idly capture my game
