Question / Help Stuttering in recordings

I'm running off of a Y510p using the latest version of windows, latest version of geforce graphics drivers, and geforce experience v2.11.4.0 (As shadow play does not work on laptops using a later version). I want to switch to OBS as it allows multiple audio tracks, however I seem to be noticing a few problems when trying to record. My biggest problem (and the one I shall be talking about today) is when I try to record DayZ.

Using either Shadowplay or OBS with the nvenc encoder results in very choppy recordings. (I have OBS Studio running x64, using my GT755m, and in administrator mode). I've found out through testing, that if I run OBS off of the GT755m and record DayZ with the game capture feature, the recording lags, but my ingame fps says the same. If I use the same settings, but run OBS off of my integrated GPU and turn on "Multi-Adapter" settings for the game recording, the recording is fixed (no more lag), but it eats about 25% of my ingame's frames. Using my integrated GPU and recording DayZ using "Display Capture" seems to work okay for the time being, but isn't very practical. I've also noticed if I use a different codec (Such as quicksync), then my recordings don't seem to lag anymore. I'm not overly sure why this is, but I just can't get OBS Studio to record DayZ using the nvenc encoder while running from my GT755m. I have attached a log file from a short recording in the link below. If anyone could help me out with this, I'd greatly appreciate it.
