Question / Help 5-10 seconds buffering - Twitch, 1080p, 60fps.

Hi.
At the first point, if you want to send me to some kind of solutions that have been already written, I've tried every setup I could possibly imagine. I'd like to stream at 60fps in 1920x1080 resolution, and even though my settings are okay, the stream on Twitch stops and buffers sometimes after 10 seconds, sometimes after longer time. It is outstandingly frustrating, because I have no idea what can be wrong, I've put a lot of money in my PC as an investment and so far I can't even run the stream properly. For advanced settings, I've tried with "veryfast" x264 preset as well.

What's wrong, guys? I appreciate every form of help in advance.


CPU: Intel Core i7-5930K 3,5 GHz, overclocked to 4,0 GHz.
GPU: 2x Nvidia GeForce GTX 980 (SLI)
RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws 4x8GB DDR4 2400 MHz
Upload: 10 Mbps

My settings:

Just in case someone has got similar problem; I've unchecked the constant bitrate (CBR), set the quality to 7, bitrate to 2815 kbps, works perfectly.

I have done approximately 200 tests to get this damn value, guess some of you might need to get through this struggle as well.
 
Well, that violates Twitch´s requirements for a "good" stream and could lead to a worse availability for possible viewers.
 
Also keep in mind what works for you and your connection/PC won't necessarily work for someone else.

This is also one of the reasons I recommend never trying to stream 1080p60fps. The bitrate requirements for a good picture are just too high, and you more easily hit buffering problems.
