Generally I just stream using a Dazzle DVC and record from console so it's not too intensive on my computer. I CAN stream PC intensive games but at the cost of extremely low quality or messed up settings that i'm not familar with.
Such as, I can stream games like WoW or Minecraft but either at low quality of OBS is dropping frames which I can't figure out.
So what happens is if I turn on WoW or Minecraft and put my settings at say 1280 x 720 and 60 FPS and 3000 bitrate, my game can actually make it and my computer can handle it all the way to the stream. The only issue is OBS starts to drop FPS. Like quite literally the FPS drops to like 2-4. And oddly enough if I stand still in the game, the image is fine and it doesn't jitter or anything. But when I start to move around to fast with the mouse say in Minecraft, the screen will move smoothy but then suddenly stop for a few frames and then move again. This is all in OBS as it does this just when i'm previewing the stream and not live. I'm watching it in the preview. Why does it do this and is there a solution?
It would also help if I gave you my PC specs and internet speeds.

The only modifications i've made to this model is I have a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 550 Ti Graphics card and a newly installed 600w EVGA PSU. Everything else is untouched and still intact.
All I want to know is there a setting or something i'm not doing properly as to why I can't stream is mooth upper quality? Is there a balance anyone can suggest that might work? All I want to be able to do is stream any game I want on my PC without any frame drops or stuttering as i'm seeing even when i'm just previewing in OBS and not live. Like it doesn't have to be too HD, just enough that everyone can visually see the screen and text and it runs smoothly. I'm not looking for picture perfect absolutely beautiful high quality stream, just something that I can use that's a bit more quality than what I generally use.
What I normally use for my Console games are Dazzle DVC 100 to my PC and my OBS setting are
1500 bitrate (Max 1700)
1280 x 720 Downscaled to 852 x 480
60 FPS
And I rarely ever see any problems or frames dropping.
Also for both that and my test of HD settings I have CBR and CBR padding checked and also CFR checked.
Sorry about the long post but any help is greatly appreciated. I just need some suggestions. I want games to be smooth visible and functionable with no issues but it doesn't have to be perfect or anything.
