Video lagging and stuttering when recording

I have been researching for almost 2 months and still cant find a fix to my glitchy video problem. I have been able to record gameplay before with no problems and 2 months ago or so I got a ram upgrade (yes I know not a big change but its still good to have) from 8gb to 16gb. After that I thought I could then change my fps a little to make things more smooth but once I did that problems arose and I haven't been able to figure out what the best settings for me is. Can anyone help me?

1. If available via Windows Update, update to Windows 10 20H2/09 via Windows Update per https://obsproject.com/blog/five-simple-tips-for-new-streamers
2. Run OBS as admin. Right-click on short cut, properties, advanced, check box, ok, apply, ok.
3. At least one of your audio devices has a sample rate that doesn't match the rest. This can result in audio drift over time or sound distortion. Check your audio devices in Windows settings (both Playback and Recording) and ensure the Default Format (under Advanced) is consistent. 48000 Hz is recommended.
OBS Sample Rate: 44100 Hz. OBS Settings, Audio, General, set Sample Rate to 48 kHz
Headset Earphone (Corsair VOID PRO USB Gaming Headset ): 48000 Hz
Microphone (AmazonBasics Desktop Mini Mic): 48000 Hz
4. Record to MKV or FLV. If you record to MP4 or MOV and the recording is interrupted, the file will be corrupted and unrecoverable.

If you require MP4 files for some other purpose like editing, remux them afterwards by selecting File > Remux Recordings in the main OBS Studio window or enable Auto remux in the advanced settings.
5. Display Capture is last resort. Build your scenes with Game/Window/Video Device Capture etc.
