Question / Help QuickSync stutter on 720p30/480p30

Hi.
To start things off, I'm running a 32-bit version of OBS, the executable set to run on the Nvidia card, because I am on a laptop, and I want to record a game that's only built with 32-bit.

When I start the recording (at 1500 kbps, my streaming bitrate) with quicksync as the encoder, the game runs smooth, but when I review the footage, I get awful, "about 5 fps" stutter, even while in the menu.

To top this all off, I can't seem to find the QSVHelper.exe file anywhere, so I can't really tell Nvidia to run it on the Intel GPU, and have to hope that it's autoselect does indeed send it to the iGPU.

Sidenote, output set to rescale to about 480p, not sure which one is the one the encoder actually works on.

Edit: Also, to add, this is my first recording after forcing the Nvidia card onto OBS (because of game capture), and I didn't have this issue until now. (Although, that might be caused by me using the 32-bit version instead of the 64-bit one, that I usually use because it works with most of my games)
