Question / Help Dropping frames, what should i change?

Unfortunately the logfile you uploaded does not contain any streaming attempt output...

Can you do a few minutes' worth of streaming (Doing what you would normally do in-game) then stop the streaming session, then upload a current logfile please so I or someone else can further assist in troubleshooting:

In your logfile I noticed you have Windows GameDVR enabled. This may be a cause of the performance issue as even when you are not using it, just having it enabled in Windows settings it will always hook into the game process and commit resources (Similar to what OBS does when OBS is open, though more aggressively as it also buffers for replay recording)

Using Monitor Capture in the same scene as Game/Window Capture can have a detrimental effect on performance as Monitor Capture is essentially 'always on':
Game capture grabs the frame directly from the graphics card for OBS to encode before sending it back to the graphics card for final rendering of the frame.
Monitor capture has the graphics card write the frame to system RAM (Which is really slow to write/read from) before OBS grabs it to encode, then sends it back to the graphics card to render for final output.

If you want to use Monitor Capture, you should create a scene for it by itself without any other capture methods included in that scene.
 
That was the initial settings, It was a bit laggy last night. My upload speed runs between 8-11mbps, so i don't think that would be the issue. With the current settings, the display/monitor capture is black screen as well
 
Another user reported disabling nVidia ShadowPlay (Also Overlay function) helped with a black screen issue, maybe that is the cause?

Can you upload a logfile with the current settings after a few minutes' worth of streaming please (The one from the black screen attempt would be handy as well)

Standard internet speed tests are not indicative of actual throughput for streaming performance/potential. Can you go to the below link and download r1ch's TwitchTest utility, it will assist you in finding the best Twitch ingest server for 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.

If you are streaming via YouTube, unfortunately there is no such utility available.
