Intel arc a380 Encoding Problems using OBS

Greeting, 

     So, my problem is this. I use a 2-pc setup to record and stream. Gaming PC all it does is game, streaming/recording PC all it does is record or stream it never plays a game it just runs OBS and that's all it does. I just purchased a Sparkle A380 6GB just to use as encoder on the stream/recording PC.

That PC consists of a Ryzen 2600 16GB Ram on gigabyte GA-AX370m-DS3H mother board so I'm not able to enable resize bar cause of the CPU not being 3000 series or above. The problem I am having is that when I go to record or stream the GPU just max's out its utilization so it causes encoder lag like a lot 97%. This is no matter the output resolution or quality. I have gotten it to work twice though and even encoding at 1440p it never reached 80% CPU load but like I said its only did this twice. 

So, I installed a game on to it (Alien Isolation) and it recorded and played that game just fine using the intel recording feature.

So, my question is, do I need Resizable bar just to use it for the encoder and not to game?

and if not, how could I fix this problem.
