Are you intending to stream via Twitch or YouTube?
Are you intending to stream and record at the same time? Not sure it will be possible, unless you are intending to record and stream GPU bound games (Low CPU intensive games)
Not sure you will be able to achieve 1080p streaming with good quality output, again unless you are intending to record and stream GPU bound games (Low CPU intensive games)
Try the below settings, they may may not work for you:
Video Settings:
Base Resolution: 1920x1080
Canvas Resolution: 1920x1080
Downscale Filter: Lanczos Filtering
FPS Value: 60
Output Settings:
Output Mode: Advanced
- Stream Tab:
Audio Track: 1
Encoder: x264
- Enforce streaming service encoder settings: Box unchecked
ReScale Output: Box checked, 1280x720 (For Twitch) 1920x1080 (For YouTube)
Rate Control: CBR
Bitrate: See below note on streaming
- Use Custom Buffer Size: Box unchecked
Keyframe Interval: 0 or 2
CPU Usage Preset: veryfast
Profile: High
Tune: None
x264 Options: Leave blank
- Recording Tab:
Recording Format: flv (You can possibly recover the file if recording attempt crashes before you end the recording)
Audio Track: 2
Encoder: NVENC
ReScale Output: Box unchecked
Custom Muxer Settings: Leave Blank
Rate Control: CQP
CQP: 15
Preset: High Quality
Profile: High
( I don't have an NVENC card personally, so using default recommended OBS NVENC settings)
- Audio Tab:
Track 1:
- Audio Bitrate: 160
Track 2:
- Audio Bitrate: 320
Note on Streaming -
If YouTube:
Whatever bitrate you can achieve without having bandwidth related frame drops being displayed in your logfile after a streaming session (You will find them towards the end of the logfile, after you stop the streaming session)
6500 bitrate is good for 1080p30fps, 9k for 1080p60fps as a baseline.
If Twitch:
It is better to stream at 720p60fps maximum resolution due to the limit in bitrate that Twitch allows for...
Below is a link to R1ch's TwitchTest Utility. It will assist you in selecting the most optimal Twitch ingest server based upon your location.
https://r1ch.net/projects/twitchtest
It is best to do a medium length test duration.
Once it has completed choose the server that as first priority, has the highest Quality and second priority, the lowest RTT (Round Trip Time) For good stream throughput, quality should be 80+.
TwitchTest utility will also provide the estimated potential (Twitch only allows up to 6,000 kb/s) bitrate you can stream to for each particular server as well, which may or may not assist you in regards to your upload speed.
Can you do a few minutes' worth of recording/streaming (Doing what you would normally do in-game) then stop the recording/streaming session, then upload a current logfile please so I or someone else can further assist in troubleshooting:

I hope the above helps!

Can you please upload the logfile from that recording attempt, it will assist in further troubleshooting.
The quality output is very nice, we can work on the frame rate stutter issue with a logfile that includes a recording/streaming attempt.

Are you trying to upload the logfile as outlined in the guide below?
https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/please-post-a-log-with-your-issue-heres-how.23074/
I have seen some incredibly long logfiles...
I think you need to cap your fps a bit, if you don't already. Limiting your frame rate will free up system resources, allowing for a much smoother recording/streaming attempt whilst maintaining the quality of the video output.
If you still can't upload a logfile:
Can you take a look at your logfile after you attempt a recording session with the above settings and let me know how many frames were rendered, how many frames were dropped due to rendering and encoding lag (If any) as well as percentage of frames please.
Below is an example of how it will look:
20:24:25.034: Output 'adv_file_output': Total frames output: 8548
20:24:25.034: Output 'adv_file_output': Total drawn frames: 8578
20:24:25.035: ==== Recording Stop ================================================
20:24:25.049: Video stopped, number of skipped frames due to encoding lag: 1847/8578 (21.5%)
If it has rendering lag/stalls, it will say in a line above the encoding lag line:
'Video stopped, number of frames dropped due to rendering lag/stalls:'
