Getting lag when streaming.

I keep getting lag spikes when streaming (Overwatch specifically) and I am wondering what I need to do in order to stream it, as well as have it look good. Usually it tells me i need to change the cpu usage preset but I havent seen much of a change when i messed with that.

My specs,
16gb ram
Amd FX-9590
Powercolor PCS+ Radeon R9 290
2ssd's & HDD
Water cooling, etc.

I have tested and found the best server for my stream service as well.

I am using game capture and a webcam.

Here are my settings

Post an OBS log file from a stream of at least five minutes of high action content using the best settings you've been able to figure out so far.

Click to expand...

So you're encoding on Faster preset but your CPU isn't anywhere close to being able to do it. Change it to Very Fast preset, stream for at least five minutes of high action content, and post a new OBS log file.

Also when streaming to Twitch you need to set your key interval (keyint) to 2 seconds instead of auto.
