Question / Help Ridiculously large number of lagged frames, more than 500%!

Now I've done some looking around and I've learned that lagged frames happen when my GPU is overburdened, so maybe I should turn down the framerate in video settings or something. But I haven't heard of anybody getting nearly this many lagged frames. In fact I can't see how it's even possible to have more than 100%, let alone 500%. Any thoughts on what could be causing this? Defective hardware maybe?

Also, this is probably a stupid question, but how exactly do lagged frames affect the quality of recorded video?

This is just a rounding error in OBS that happens when things get really bad. 500% is not possible, but you're correct on the cause of any lagged frames.
