The settings that I'm using:

No custom buffer size
Resolution downscale to 2.00 (960x540) at 48 fps
Using multithreaded optimizations
Process priority class on normal

Anything I can do to improve the quality of the stream itself ?

Enable CBR and lower frame rate to 30fps, to start.

Is 1500kbps the highest you can go without lagging in-game or dropping frames? Because if you can raise that up, that can help.

You might be able to run the faster x264 profile with a 3770k...it's worth a shot.

Actually,CBR is the one that gave me dropped frames sometimes on 720p...
No,1500kbps is not the highest that I can go for..I can bump it for 2000kbps I think.
but isn't it enough for 540p ?
I'll give a try for faster profile,but I'm not sure if its that or priority class that I tried before,and the game itself felt a bit heavier...

CBR is what Twitch wants you to stream at, and it's better for viewers to watch with CBR. If you are dropping frames at 1500 CBR, you should lower your bit rate.

I actually think that I'm dropping frames with CBR on when ingame I have some kind of loading screen or something ...
Or it might be a huge coincidence.
