I've been able to stream PC games comfortably at 1700 kb/s but am now experiencing frame drops when I use my new Elgato capture card with my Xbox One. When I preview the stream runs perfectly fine but when I start streaming I get frame drops. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Windows 7 64 bit
Upload speed is 2 mb/s
NVIDIA GEForce GTX 760
FX 8320 CPU eight core 3.5GHz
8 Gigs ram
Gigabite 990 motherboard.

I'm using OBS 32 version because that's the one that works with the Elgato. Settings are below:

Encoding:

x264 with CBR and CBR Padding.
My max bitrate and buffer size is 1700 kb/s.
Audio is AAC, 48 KHz, Stereo, 128 bitrate.

Broadcasting settings:

Minimize network impact enabled.
Streaming from NY server.

Video:

Base resolution: 1280 x 720 down scaled by 1.25 to 1024 x 576.
FPS is 25
Bilinear.

Advanced:

Use multithreaded optimizations enabled
Process priority class is high
x264 preset is ultra fast
encoding profile is main
use CFR enabled
