Rendering Videos (Premiere Pro) suddenly a lot slower lately..HELP!

[JSkeleton]

As the title states, the past 3 weeks or so, my render times have increased by a good amount in Premiere Pro and I have no idea why. The only thing I changed was installing an Elgato 4K60 PRO (PCIe 4.0 slot. 2nd slot on my Asus X570 Wifi Motherboard).
 

Rendering a video in 1080/60 that was about 60 minutes in length, would take 30 minutes. Now something like that is taking closer to 45 minutes. What's stranger, is when I start the render the estimated time will say what's normal but then the time goes up AND as the % goes up, the estimate hovers around the same number for a while.

I have about 24/30gb of RAM allocated to Premiere Pro. It's using both CPU and GPU to render. I don't get it. I even bought a new Cooler for my PC thinking it was a heating issue. Hopefully someone has some idea of what to do, I'm going crazy trying to figure it out.
