You recently installed OBS and adjusted some settings for recording Dishonored. The game was running poorly, with framerate around 10 FPS or lower, making it nearly unplayable. Usually it should be smooth at 60-70 FPS, but performance dropped drastically during recording. You have a solid i5-6600K and an Nvidia GeForce GTX 970, so your PC isn’t the issue. Look into optimizing OBS settings, lowering resolution or frame rate in the game, or checking for driver updates to see if that improves stability.

Use nvenc within OBS and keep the bitrate moderate.

With NVENC it's essential to adjust the bitrate, because your hardware recording isn't ideal. For better results, use ShadowPlay or NVENC in OBS at 30Mbps instead.

No, the footage isn't being encoded by a GPU.
