Obs won't encode in 60 fps

Recently I up[graded to a 3080 and an i9 9900KF and since downloading OBS, no matter the game it doesnt encode my frames at a consistent 60 fps makiung the stream look terrible. I've tried on a variety of games including AC Valhalla, Apex Legends, Divinity Original Sin, and Godfall. Here is my log https://obsproject.com/logs/fvX2uCsMQx1L6WqS

Most of your missing frames are due to rendering lag. Run OBS as administrator, as this will put OBS on the GPU priority list to give a better chance of giving it the necessary resources to keep up with frame grab timing.

Run a test as admin, and post another log file.

There's plenty of other things that may be affecting things as well:
- Monitors at different refresh rates
- CPU may be overloaded running at medium preset (ensure OBS priority set to High, try lowering preset)

As a side note, once you work out the rendering lag you may want to try Nvenc encoding. The quality is basically on par with the medium preset, and it will mean your CPU doesn't have to deal with the extra load of encoding. Just make sure not to use the Max Quality preset, and leave Psychovisual Tuning and Lookahead off.

Ok so if my monitors having different refresh rate affects it I need to buy new ones that have the same refresh rate?

and on the i9 look that your boost mode workson my i9 9900 i had the problem that the bios/efi must reconfig for the i9
I used my 2070 to encode when i use my CPU for it i have the same problems
How would I go about recinfiguring my i9? sorry never had to do it before

I wasn't because x264 was being more reliable for a little bit but then the issue came back. Looks like running in admin seems to have worked dint have any issues tonight.

Having a similar issue with Nvidia encoder on 3090. CpU encoding, turning on hardware accelerated gpu scheduling, or disabling pbs preview window fixed it for me.
