I am very new to obs, i have recorded gameplay in multiple games like valorant and csgo all recording perfect 1080p video without any dropped frames. I recently tried with Rainbow Six Seige and it was a completely different story, so i reduced the quality to 720 and halfed the frames to 30, this still produced awful quality and frames changing every few seconds, i thought it may just be my pc but at even 480p 30 fps, on the lowest settings in the game i still get an awful video. I am using the nvidia encoder as i have a 1660 6gb, and the game told me it was using about a gigabyte of the cards memory. I have changed the obs to have a high priority on my pc and the game to have a low priority but it doesnt help, just looking for advice. The log below was the best output it has done for some reason but i hope it helps.
Really bad video quality and about 5 frames every minute in r6 only?

1. Run OBS as Admin.
2. In Windows 10 versions 1809 and newer, we recommend that "Game Mode" be enabled for maximum gaming performance. Game Mode can be enabled via the Windows 10 "Settings" app, under Gaming > Game Mode
3. Update your Windows 10 per https://obsproject.com/blog/five-simple-tips-for-new-streamers
4. The encoder is skipping frames because of CPU overload. Read about General Performance and Encoding Issues.
5. Audio buffering hit the maximum value. This is an indicator of very high system load, will affect stream latency, and may even cause individual audio sources to stop working. Keep an eye on CPU usage especially, and close background programs if needed. Restart OBS to reset buffering.

i have tried using these settings and they have improved the video, but i am still getting frame drops every few seconds and sometimes the video freezes, can you see anything wrong from the log file?

Windows 10 Version 1903 for x64-based Systems is the updaye i have just done, is there a newer version because it cannot find any more updates? I appreciate your help!
I am very sorry i have just found the 2004 update, downloading it now
i have now tried everything including setting obs to high priority, and having the game at below normal, but i still get an encoder overload because of the cpu?
i have found out my gpu doesnt want to encode anything??
