Question / Help Recording stutters with >75% GPU load

As soon, as the GPU load exceeds ~75% the OBS recordings start to stutter, which can be seen best at 60fps recordings.
I know that this can occur when the GPU has no headroom for rendering the OBS scene, but with only 75% load (including OBS scene rendering) I think there must be a problem between OBS and Windows 10.

example recording with less than 75% GPU load and more than 75% GPU load:

The log part with the recording that is edited and uploaded to youtube is this:

The monitor_capture was just in there to show my CPU and GPU load gadgets.
Without the monitor_capture and without monitoring gadgetds, the problem is exactly the same.
