Settings > Advanced > Network (no values changed)

Upon running stream tests for Overwatch (with the above OBS settings), the in-game FPS drops from a constant 144 to 20. Watching Youtube videos about the best stream settings for Overwatch didn't alleviate the situation. Which OBS settings should I configure to get an optimal stream and in-game performance?

Please do tell me if more information is needed.
