Question / Help FPS feels lower when streaming

When I am not streaming I can get high frame rates and smooth gameplay. As soon as I turn on my stream, I get a slight drop in fps (e.g. 100+ down to 80+ in battlefield 1) but the gameplay feels a lot less smooth (feels like 15-20fps).

System
i7 4790k 4GHz
GTX 1070
16GB Ram



Using OBS 64 Bit

CPU usage while streaming - 64%
Memory Usage while streaming - 54%

This was tested on battlefield 1 but I've also had problems with other games such as Arma 2 and 3 and League of Legends. Stream output is beautiful but it makes playing the games near impossible.


**EDIT**
I have now downloaded OBS Studio and this has fixed the problem, however the problem re-emerges when I add audio capture devices.
