OBS Lagged Frames after fresh System install

[SemkeHG]

Specs:
i7 8700k @ 4.8GHz
GIGABYTE GTX 1080
G.Skill Trident Z RGB @ 3200MHz
Samsung 970 Evo 250GB (Newly installed, OS and Program storage)
Samsung 850 Evo 250GB
2TB HDD

Yesterday I installed a new M.2 drive for my OS and program storage, I fresh installed Windows on it. I tried going back to streaming today and it was simply not possible, OBS dropped majority of its frames when in game. I only tried on Apex Legends however streaming was completely fine before the wipe. I also noticed some frame drops in game, hardly noticeable but definitely there, when streaming or trying to record. I have attempted multiple different settings in game, including Vsync with no change. I simply have no clue what could be causing this problem. (NOTE: OBS Labels it as "Lagged frames" not Skipped frames)

Streamlabs OBS Settings:

720p60fps
6000 Bitrate
x264 Encoding
"veryfast" CPU preset
"main" profile
Lanczos Filter
And I have also attempted different priority levels

Bios fully up to date? M2 drivers from Intel up to date? All chipset drivers up to date? Was the2 SSD the only drive in the computer when you installed Windows?

Try bitrate of 1000 at 720p. If frame are getting lost/dropped, it must be network offloading features that are enabled on network adapter and must be disabled. Also, you may want to uninstall and reinstall GPU drive.
