Question / Help Choppy stream on recommended settings

If I recall correctly, used to be able to stream fine on OBS + twitch/youtube, but now I haven't streamed in a long while, and it doesn't seem to be working that well anymore. I'm using the settings recommended by hitbox.tv and youtube. Much hasn't changed in my set up, except my connection went from 40/20 to 60/30.

So here's one log. Tried streaming to hitbox.tv this time, and also youtube. Youtube says stream health is "GOOD". Both are really choppy, video freezes constantly. That one was through nginx though. Here's another one straight to hitbox.tv

Shaperprobe
Code:
Estimating capacity:
Upstream: 22374 Kbps.
Downstream: 58143 Kbps.

Upstream: No shaper detected.
Median received rate: 21952 Kbps.

Downstream: No shaper detected.
Median received rate: 57008 Kbps.

Here's a recording, which looks a lot better than it was on hitbox.tv, but some of the choppiness that was happening constantly is visible.

I'm also having a lot more trouble recording than I used to, I think. Not that it was easy before either.

Is it the hardware? Am I all out of luck, or is there something I can do to have a non-nauseating stream?
 
I started looking through my old stuff, and I realized it has been pretty much as bad always...

Here's what an old stream back then looked like, and some logs from around the same time.

Also I think this thread was the same issue too, now that I remember :I
 
The problem is easy, you are trying to stream a game with a very weak processor at 720p. This isn't gonna work. See if streaming at 540p @ 30 FPS gives less stuttering, if it still does, go lower to something like 480p. That processor isn't particularly good at multithreaded tasks, and gaming at the same time makes it even harder. If you wanna go more into streaming, I'd suggest you upgrade the processor.
