Expected Behavior
Program will handle the overflow and continue working.
Current Behavior
Stopping recording crashes program.
Steps to Reproduce
- RTX 3090 24GB with Gaming Drivers
- Settings -> Video -> Base canvas of 7680x2160, output 7680x2160, FPS 48
- Output -> Recording -> Advanced -> Custom FFmpeg, Video Bitrate 1000000 Kbps, Keyframe 250, Encoder hevc_nvenc (show all), Encoder settings rc=vbr cq=13
- Record two monitors having 3840x2168 resolution (I have 4, driver has hardcoded max resolution)
Anything else we should know?
With previous Nvidia drivers (year ago), Task Manager displayed 89-90% encoder chip usage (card has dedicated chip for encoding and decoding). With latest drivers it now is impossible to record at 48FPS, lowering to 40 will work. But OBS is crashing after stopping recording @ 48FPS - Encoder chip usage is 99-100%

Research direction
Start by reviewing the linked OBS Studio log and reproducing the configuration with a 7680x2160 canvas, 48 FPS, and hevc_nvenc on Windows 10. Done means stopping the recording no longer crashes OBS and the reported overflow is handled.
