OBS preview stutter or Frame Pacing issue

Hello! So recently I have noticed a frame pacing issue, or at least that's what it appears to be. The issue is that in OBS when I set the 'FPS' drop down to 60 in the Video Capture Device settings; every now and then the stream, or recording (I don't do both at the same time) will become choppy for a few seconds then smooth out again. When I flip it from 60FPS to 'Highest FPS' in the drop down options I don't seem to see this issue. The trouble there is manually setting it to 60 seems to give slightly smoother play back until that weird stutter shows up. Anyone have any ideas? The encoder is NOT being overloaded, and I am not dropping frames according to OBS stats monitor.

Here is the setting I am talking about

I should also mention this is on a dedicated streaming PC (specs below) with my 1080p 144hz monitor mirrored to the card. In addition to that this issue seems to happen regardless if I use nVENC or x264. I am also running OBS as admin as well.

Capture PC specs
  • CPU: Ryzen 3900x
  • RAM: 32GB @ 3200MHz and FClock of 1600
  • GPU: RTX 2060
Capture card has latest Drivers and REC central installed.


Here is the log file from when I reproduced the issue: https://obsproject.com/logs/ivwf5eV-SpWYfeBK

It happens for a few seconds at a time then smooths out again.
