Try a lower base resolution. Your GPU cannot keep up.

Settings > Video > Base (Canvas) Resolution

Instead of using 1080p or the native resolution of your display, set OBS to use as the base resolution the resolution you intend to stream or record at. So instead of scaling down to 720p, just start with that as your base resolution and see if that helps.
