Question / Help Dropping frames no matter what settings I use or what game i play

Hi guys,
Ive been streaming with obs for a few months now and haven't had any problems until recently. I've been dropping frames down to about 11fps (should be 30). and the thing is it doesn't matter what I stream, whether its PUBG on medium settings, to Clone Hero, to Doki Doki.

For the sake of being easy I reset my settings back to the recommended setup wizard settings that I haven't messed with at all and set the framerate desired to 30 (Whoops just saw it was set to 60 after I posted).

My internet speed is currently: DOWN- 880MBPS, UP- 960MBPS

Here is the link to my test stream log: https://gist.github.com/2d0b100bba500fb77b28ec4ce1dd3830

thanks for all your help!

Delete all but one game capture source, and remove all window/display capture sources. All those scenes you have on are causing the GPU to overload even on games like Doki Doki Literature Club

so to clarify, I only have 1 capture source in the scene I'm using. do I need to delete the other capture source from the other scenes I have even when they aren't in use?

For future knowledge does obs attempt to capture everything in every scene even when those aren't in use?

So I removed all the game capture sources and deleted a bunch of unnessesary scenes. I tested it again on clone hero and even hovering around 40% usage on both cpu and gpu I was still getting a very low framerate.

Is there anything else I need to remove, like my face fame video from each scene?

And to reiterate my comment above, does OBS try to read every scene I have created even when not being used. Is there a way to store these scene setups somewhere so that I don't have to create them every time I want to play a game?

Here is an updated log.
