I have been having issues with my streams lately, my game runs fine in 60 fps, the stream doesn't drop off 60 either (at least obs doesn't say so) but sometimes the playback just temporarily freezes. I used to use my processor to encode but it takes too much power (around 20% for 720p60 at 3500 bitrate) and that leaves not much room for my game since most games takes anywhere from 50-80% cpu usage to stream. So I started used my graphics card, you'll see that in the screenshots. Anyway please look at my settings and see if anything is standing out to you or anything.

Hardware : i5 6500 quad core 3.2 GHz turbos to 3.6 (no hyper threading)
8GB DDR4 2133 (I am gonna upgrade to 16GB soon I think the 8GB is limiting my stream in some way as my ram usage is usually high 70s)
R7 370 4GB (Upgrading this soon too to a 1060 6GB or 480 8GB w/e its cheapest)
1TB HDD

Anything else you want or need let me know I'll get it. Thanks for the help.

Oh also I want to note I am selling my R7 370 today, so I won't even be streaming for an X amount of days, I didn't know it had sold when I made this post (shoulda checked ebay lul) so this is kind of irrelevant now, not entirely as I still will stream when I get a new GPU some time mid December but it will be a different card which might effect settings. If needed I can repost then.
