Question / Help Sekiro Record/Stream encoding overload, but GFE has no issues

Hi!
I have two questions, that even after several hours of troubleshooting I can't figure the solution out myself. I ask here, hoping to gain some insights into what's the matter.

So Sekiro is a game that I wanted to stream and record at the same time. I did the automated test and accepted the outcome for both streaming and recording.

Here they are: sekiro_OBS.PNG

However, the recording does not get recorded smoothly. The stream doesn't look to good either, from the little feedback I got.

But aside from subjective feedback, OBS is constantly informing me about Encoding Overload.

I have a pretty beefy computer, an 9700K @ 4900mhz and a RTX 2080 Ti with 32 GB of 3000mhz ram.

So I switched around settings like mad in a brute force attempt to find a setting that would work.

I dialed the resolution down to 720p, tried all settings from performance over quality etc... I can't seem to get rid of Encoding Overload.

Then I enabled the nvidia geforce experience feature. I recorded the game with the highest settings, 1080p 60fps + 50 Mbps Bitrate, and the footage looks really good. I didn't notice the stutters that OBS gave me and the game performance didn't suffer either.

So I think the computer is capable of recording at these high settings, something that OBS does - or doesn't - must be the cause.

Is anyone able to provide some tips into the right directio? That would be super helpful.

I have had problems since last saturday with Sekiro; https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/one-day-to-another-youtube-streaming-is-lagging-choppy.102669/

From streaming perfectly to choppy stream and having to change some settings. With high settings it worked perfectly but next day I had to get down and changed lot of things to make the stream more or less fluid. I managed to setup a proper quality but still not the quality of the first streams.

I don't know why or how. Explained inside that thread.
