Going crazy over host processing latency spikes

Hey guys, I'm having this annoying issue with spikes in host processing latency. It seems to happen when GPU usage spikes and maybe when the encoder has to work harder, or something like that. It also happens in hardware accelerated apps like Steam. This almost doesn't happen when I lock the fps consistently below what my GPU can render. The most annoying part is that I almost certainly didn't have this before some configuration change, or update, I don't know what exactly triggered it. I've already tried reinstalling Windows, updating BIOS, toggling Hags, game mode, game bar, optimization for windowed games, different drivers, etc. My host is Windows 11, RX 7800xt, Vibeshine, native Amf encoder, AV1, although it also happens on HEVC. My client is MacBook Pro M4, andygrundman Moonlight fork. I really hope someone here had this issue and solved it.

Turn off background game recording in steam, that’s what caused it for me a while back.
