Question / Help Bitrate is fluctuating violently.

Its been about 2 weeks since I had last streamed and I decided that I would start streaming more frequently starting today. only my bitrate was being inconsistent. Ive been messing with settings and was unable to fix the situation until I changed the encoding to Nvidia NVENC. My setup uses an i5-4670k and a GTX760 and my Internet speeds are 50up and 10down. I shouldnt be having issues with my processor and I dont have much room for performance on my GTX 760 to use it for encoding. When it comes to the settings everything should be optimized for twitch streaming, so Im either blind or stupid. can someone take a look at my logs and let me know if i missed something?

NVENC Log: https://gist.github.com/anonymous/1d8c9bacefc43357b34a

x264 Log: https://gist.github.com/anonymous/d53047ebd50e2a1ea42b

Also, when I put it through the analyzer, it says that there is a hook conflict but I cant find the source of it.

run this tool for your region and post a screen shot of the results:

If you run the test a second time and get the similar results, I would definitely use the Virginia ingest server at no more than 2000 bitrate/buffer. this leaves room for fluctuation.

Second I would call your ISP and let them know that you are having issues with traffic to twitch.tv servers especially if your traffic is far lower than your upload rate.

Ive run the test multiple times now and the bandwidth numbers and latency numbers are around the same on every test, but the quality numbers are mostly zeros with a few larger numbers here and there but never in the same place twice and i'm not sure how significant that number is. I'm going to contact my ISP but i'm still having 50%+ dropped frames when running x264 encoding but when I switch over to NVENC I get 0% dropped frames.

thank you for all the help so far, but would you happen to know anything about this issue?

there is a bottleneck somewhere between you and twitch, your connection is stalling out on that mighty highway called the internet. I'm not being rude, I just want to give you a visual. Somewhere between you, your ISP and twitch, there is a traffic jam causing your connection to slow.
even with NVENC its still happening, take a look at your logs for something saying "connection stalling".
