OBS Was Fine, Now I Am Getting Encoding Overload

Hello,

I used to stream perfectly fine with OBS Studio, my specs are mid-tier and should not have a problem streaming at 1080p 60 FPS. A while back I had stopped streaming and primarily just gamed, so I had my PC optimized, unfortunately now I am constantly getting an "encoding overloaded" message and it drastically slows down my pc when I have chrome, valorant and OBS up, which was never the case previously.

My settings are pretty standard,

6000 bitrate, using Nvidia encoder, I have a 2k monitor but rescaled it to 1080p at 60 fps, and OBS has a high priority.

I have 32GB of ram, an Intel Core i7-9700K, and a RTX 2070 Super.

As more of a description, stream starts on fine, and then begins to stutter with the encoding overload, jumps from 4.1 % cpu usage to about 20 %.

I do use process lasso, I am unsure if this is causing any issues or not, I have tried rescaling my output, less frames, etc. Yet the same thing continues to happen, any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you
