Hello! I am trying to set up FIFA 18 stream on Twitch, and I have went through a lot of tutorials on Youtube and visiting random sites on Google, but nothing really helps. I was streaming games like Bioshock or Dark Souls 3 like two or three years ago and everything went much smoother. Basically, every time I try to lower Encoder Preset(make it from superfast to fast for example) the stream starts lagging(frame drops, sound goes perfect, but the stream itself looks like slideshow). I understand that Encoder Preset means how much my CPU is used, so when I place ultrafast, the stream doesn't lag anymore but it's very pixelated but I don't believe my PC suddenly lacks CPU so much to stream this game, in OBS during streams it shows around 42% of CPU is being used, and thats on 30 FPS. I've tried different bitrates aswell, I placed video bitrate on 500 and audio on 64, and thats having 30mbps download speed and 10mpbs upload speed(according to speedtest.net). Stream resolution is set to 1280x720, stream delay is set to 30 seconds. During the stream, in game I don't feel any lag, it goes smooth as without streaming, but on stream it looks more like slideshow. Also I tried to only record through OBS and it the result of video was very smooth and nice.

My PC:
Windows 10 64bit
AMD Athlon(TM) X4 860K Quad Core Processor 3.70GHz
RAM 8GB
Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce GT 740
