Have a good PC and good internet but cannot stream

So basically I have a i9-10850k, 32 Gb ram, and a 3070ti but I cannot stream and I do not understand why. It tells me to lower my preset and even when I go the lowest at 720p it still frame drops. I play warzone and i get over 100 fps the whole time even while streaming, looking for a fix because having to upgrade my pc with these specs seems silly. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Most powerful PC in the world won't help you stream if
- your PC 95%+ tasked before stream related workloads
- your network isn't adequate
- Your OBS Studio settings conflict with your OS and H/W setup

Issue most likely isn't PC specs
- make sure OBS Studio settings are appropriate (beware YouTube videos by idiots who fail to provide context, and their recommendations won't work)
- make sure your Operating System isn't a mess (amazing how many folks allow auto-run processes to keep running when planning to do some computationally intensive work like game play by real-time video encoding for streaming)
- Make sure your OBS screen/video capture settings are appropriate for your setup... this is NOT simple/easy stuff. sometimes it just works... but don't count on that being normal
- All of the above won't help if your network connection is a PoS or otherwise occupied. Download speed tests are meaningless. Typical consumer focused Upload Speed test are highly optimistic and NOT representative of realistic base threshold for streaming.

real-time monitoring of hardware resource utilization on your PC to make sure it isn't the bottleneck, then LAN and WAN, will be likely required troubleshooting steps... as covered ad naseum in this forum

also, best to NOT ignore pinned post in this forum about posting OBS Studio log when asking for support
