Question / Help Dropping frames

Since I changed my processor from an FX-6100 to an i7 4770k, the OBS client started dropping a lot of frames.

I made a thread earlier this month about it. I was told to change the window capture to game capture. It helped for the most part but on faster paced games, I still drop frames.

Where I highlighted the FPS with a blue box is where the framerate changes all the times. It was set to 45 and would stay at 45 until I start playing. It would drop as low as 1 FPS.

It's still doing it with the game capture options, it's minor but not really smooth for the eye and I'd like to fix it.

Here's another example of bad framerate. The stream is set at 55FPS but it's a lot more choppy than it should be. It's fine when I'm not looking at the more graphical part of the city, then it drops to ~35FPS when there's a little bit more action.

I'd like to also mention the FPS in game is averaging 90, so it's not the problem.

That must have been a bad log (and it was cut off as well, always include the whole log file), because there was very little issues with FPS lowering in that log file:

20:02:25: Total frames rendered: 198726, number of late frames: 14 (0.01%) (it's okay for some frames to be late)

Late frames are what cause low FPS, and as you can see, it almost never happened here.

Maybe I'm just trying to overachieve again. I'll set the stream to 60 FPS next time, hopefully it will be a lot smoother for faster paced games.

Thanks for your help and time.
