Bug Report Choppy gameplay FPS lag, disaster.

I've been trying all sorts of settings to attempt to stream and I just can't seem to figure out what is wrong. The problem I am getting is that when I start up and go to stream in game, my FPS drops ridiculously in game, and even at a decent FPS I am getting the choppest video I've ever seen. When I start off streaming at first, my fps is fine. After about 10-30 seconds everything goes to crap and my FPS is terrible. My CPU barely goes over 50% the whole time. None of this makes any sense. This has been happening to me with my new Radeon HD 7850, and my old Radeon HD 5770.A few things to add about my setup, besides the specs below:

I have a 3.5 meg internet connection. I have an HDMI cable connecting one port of my graphics card to my 31 inch TV running at 1360x768, and I have an old CRT over converted DVI to VGA on a 19 inch running at 1024x768. I normally run WoW at 60 FPS on Ultra. I normally run League of Legends at 100+ fps. My girlfriend streams as well sometimes using 1 meg of bandwidth. Also my system has 16 GiGs of RAM.

Here is a list of things I've tried:
- Setting priority of OBS to high while WoW or LoL Client is set to normal priority. Setting priority of WoW or LoL client to high while OBS is normal priority.
- Changing the screen resolution of either game and fiddling around with the custom resolution in OBS.
- Binding my network interface to OBS.
- Setting a custom server close to me to stream to.
- Enabling minimum network impact
- Setting x264 CPU Preset to ultrafast, superfast, veryfast, faster
- Allowing 61-120 FPS entry in video settings
- Streaming from game capture
- Streaming from a window capture
- Just about anything anyone can think of (different max bitrates, buffer sizes, etc)

Any ideas what the issue could be? (This happens with Xsplit as well, doesn't seem to matter which streaming software I use).

Are you on comcast? If so make sure to set a really conservative bitrate, since they artificially boost your speeds when doing speed tests. Also experiment with the different Twitch servers. Turn off 'minimize network impact' until you resolve the frame drops.

I have tried setting the bit rate as low as 250kbps in 250kb increments. I will try to experiment with different Twitch servers and turn off minimize network impact.

I found my main issue. My main issue is that my webcam is capable of outputting 1024x576 resolution. When I did not have my webcam on, I seemed to lag a lot less. I think with some fine-tuning that I can have my games running as smoothly as I want them to run.

My Solution: I adjusted my webcam to be a custom resolution of 320x240 instead of resizing it with the "edit scene" button using the properties window of the Video Input Device. It is still set to 30 FPS and Output Format I420.

God I am awesome. Hopefully I will be up and streaming sometime soon. Thank you me. :)
