Question / Help Stuttering on record

So on top of the fact that Rocket League maxes my CPU which I am working on fixing, I get stuttering when I record other games as well that don't max it. Just wondering what I'm doing wrong.

specs:
i7-8700k @ 4.3ghz
MSI Z370 Gaming Pro Carbon AC ATX Motherboard
GTX 970
Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB

I am pretty sure that's the wrong log file, I don't see anything recording in that one.

edit: ran this test afterwards as well. Monitored CPU usage during recording session and it didn't go above 35%

1) Disable GameDVR on windows 10 settings.

2) Under OBS settings->video, set your downscale to 1280*720 with bicubic or lanczos filter.

3) Under OBS settings->Output->Recording, change encoder to "x264", CPU preset to "very fast", profile to "main" or "high", input a reasonably high bitrate and change recording format to .flv. I'm not familiar with NVENC enough so can't help you with it. Also disable "Rescale output" if it's ticked.

4) In each game you're trying to record, enable VSYNC or frame rate limiter (60fps).

Report back after trying these steps.
