Question / Help Video Stuttering ( Encoding Overloaded )

I have read the sticky threads and am aware that this is due to my cpu being weak and unable to encode.
The problem is i have selected NVENC as my video encoder. However at certain point of the game, my cpu usage just straight away jumps to 100%. The starting FPS being from 90 to 100 then now churns to 140 to 160 fps.
As i alt tab, i noticed my CPU usage on OBS is 60%. It is as if OBS swapped out my NVIDIA encoder to CPU. Is this true?
  1. CPU: i5 7500
  2. GPU: GTX 1060
Is my CPU throttling my recording? I recorded using CBR 50000,30000, with bicubic sampling at 60FPS. Is this the cause of it?
