Some annoying skipped Frames

Hey There,

I am having a serious issue with recording on my PC. Tried literally anything but couldnt find a solution, so... hi there^^.
Streaming is fine and frames never ever skip. But when recording while streaming ( or even without streaming ) I sometimes get about 15-30 skipped frames every 10-15 minutes and I dont know why. Some might say now "yo get your mind right, 15-30 skipped frames dont even show and shouldnt be this big of a deal" but they really do when playing a fast pacing shooter game like call of duty. It doesnt matter which game I play or even without playing any game - I am having this problem. neither my GPU nor my CPU ever go over 60% but I still get these annoying skipped frames.
Here are some things I already tried but obviously didnt work :

-Changing my bitrate
-Changing the game resultion/graphics
-Recording in low resolution
-Changing my Encoder (x264 & NVENC)
-Re- install OBS

Specs:
RTX 3080
i9-9900K @3.6GHz
32GB RAM

Use the Quality preset, not Max Quality. Disable Psychovisual Tuning (and Lookahead, but you already have that turned off). Those three can/will cause encoding lag on NVENC even if the system should be otherwise fine.

Additionally, NEVER record to MP4 directly FOR ANY REASON. It isn't a recording-safe file format, and editing suites tend to hate the mp4s that OBS generates. Record to FLV if you only need one audio track, MKV if you need multiple. You can remux these to MP4 after the recording is complete from OBS' File menu in a matter of seconds.

@FerretBomb Unfortunately the problem is still there... it helped a bit to change the MQ preset into Quality only but not that much. Anyhing else I could try?
