OBS Recording 60 FPS issues v.29.0.2

I use OBS to record SecondLife - which is a OpenGl type of virtual world. I have been using OBS for years and I usualy record at 30FPS, no Issues. My record settings had been .mkv. NVENC HEVC (before that I was using custom ffmpg to record h.265) I have always used CQP at about 14.

Been wanting to try 60FPS. I know it is strange. Rarely fps "in world" gets above about 20fps recording crowded events, but recording at 60fps would help doing smoother slow motion among other things. My setup is my monitor is 60hz. RTX 3070, i7 10-700, 32 g RAM and 2 SSD HDs on .m2 circuit

But OBS gets 'weird' when I try to record at 60fps. Granted maybe the machine is maxed out in the 'game' (The GPU is often maxed at 100%) but not sure if that affects OBS. I use hotkeys to stop/start recording and that often becomes non responsive, the recording can hang while recording, often wont stop recording. recording at 30fps is fine. I know my hardware should be more than enough to record at 60fps, so maybe i need to try other settings or make changes in other places. I also tried the 'simple' mode on the output for recording, using indisguisable quality and the HEVC encoder

Anybody have tips for recording 60FPS either in OBS settings or maybe nvidia control panel. Oh yeah, Im on Win 11 and have the h22 update (damn shoulda never upgraded from 10) so if there is anything in windows that might help. Aslo ive to run OBS in admin mode and not in admin mode
 
If you want to know, to me the hardware for some reason is not strong enough and OBS is clearly unstable. It doesn't even stay consistently at 30fps ever since this update arrived two weeks ago. I even removed the plug-in that doesn't work like I was suggested, and now it seems even worse. How can I do this with the hardware and the minimum specs? I have the computer since Christmas 2020 and I'm using OBS since April, and this never happened until the update was released. I don't even use game capture, I just capture either the screen or the window.
