Question / Help Frames dropping in game when using OBS

Hey guys,

I've used OBS for quite a while to streaming Infestation: Survivor Stories and my frames were great and nothing dropped, but I've decided to stream Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and my frames in game are dropping...a lot. They will be alright for the first few seconds, and then drop to maybe 20 frames and shoot back up to 200 frames. This happens near enough every 2 seconds. Here's a VoD from earlier http://www.twitch.tv/danielcurtistv/b/509566119 around 45 seconds in, you see that my frames start off perfectly fine, but as the VoD goes on, it's all jumpy and you can see the frames (top left) turning red and going green again. (red obviously indicates low, and green high). I stream with the game in Fullscreen mode and using Game Capture

Here's the settings I'm using on OBS;

Encoding - http://puu.sh/7p5qZ.png
Video - http://puu.sh/7p5sA.png
Audio - http://puu.sh/7p5tW.png
Advanced - http://puu.sh/7p5wV.png

And here's a recent speedtest - http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/3359198134
And here's my PC specs;
CPU - Intel Core i7 4770k @ 3.5ghz
Motherboard - Asus Maximus VI Formula
RAM - Corsair Vengeance 16GB 18667mhz
SSD - Samsung Evo 840 260GB
GPU - Asus GeForce 660ti 2GB
OS - Windows 7 Home Premium


Any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated. I've been using Nvidia's ShadowPlay to stream for now, but it turns the stream off every time I tab out of the game and is rather annoying.

Thanks guys,

- Daniel

Could you do me a favor, and let me know if this changes anything? Try right clicking preview window in OBS, turn off the preview, and see if that affects anything.
