I have just started the streaming thing and have looked at tutorials on YT about OBS Studio and the settings and such. When i click the Start Streaming button my in game FPS counter doesn't drop but i can see that I get FPS drops and major screen tearing to the point that it is unplayable. It doesn't happen when I just preview but when I start streaming it does.

It could be something with your monitor. Try running OBS as an administrator and if you have a 64bit system, run 64.

If you're not using NVENC, try that. Don't use CPU for recording/streaming. These are my personal preferences.

EDIT: See my log for some recommendations: https://gist.github.com/cfa94bcbaadfb5b6efb24f7e02f93ecb

EDIT 2: I see you have sharpen on video capture. Try taking that off.

Are you using game capture? Be sure you use that when recording a game and desktop or window for other.
