Recorded Video Frame Drops - Stuttering - Suddenly

Hello everyone,

I have loved getting to learn OBS, watching guides, talking to streamers to optimize settings etc.

I thought that I had found the holy grail for my recording quality yesterday. But today, playing through Elden Ring, whenever I turned on 'start recording', when I alt-tabbed back to OBS it'd show 'skipped frames due to encoding lag' where that number has been near zero as far as I know.

So now that I'm encoding videos tonight I am dealing with very choppy content, which is awful. I have attached the log file for the session to this, and am honestly at my wit's end, because I can't figure out why this happened.

Is there anything in these logs that would explain why recording was so borked today? If not, I'm worried I have a hardware issue.

Thanks in advance for all your help. Please let me know if there are any other details I could share.

The practical example is here, look at how 'jerky' this recording is:

- YouTube

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.
www.youtube.com www.youtube.com

and compare it with this:

- YouTube

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.
www.youtube.com www.youtube.com

Both were recorded, as far as I can recall, with identical settings. The first video is much more choppy.

I tested the recording today and tweaked some settings, but it still isn't that smooth.

I have a 5950X, 3090 Strix, and I don't think I should have any problems recording (to an SSD) 1440p in very high quality. Any ideas, based on the log above? I parsed it myself and don't actually see that many failed frame renders under the recording parts, but I'm new to these recordings and OBS so...grateful for any help!
