Question / Help Help with streaming Dota 2 with OBS

Hello OBS team,

after reading some threads I set up my stream.

OBS Log Analyzer says:
0 issues found (0 major, 0 minor).
https://gist.github.com/anonymous/1ad37f2598ea62d69cf4 here is the full log

Setup:
Intel-Core i5 2500 CPU 3.30 GHZ
GeForce GTX 760
8,00 GB ram
64-bit windows

Internet: 10mbps upload 50 mbps download

I streamed 1 game so far: http://www.twitch.tv/amomentforever_137/b/529978083

From Minute 0-20 ingame it was around 60 fps, but minute 20-end in teamfights and in general in smaller fights my frames dropped from 60-30 fps.


You can see from the log I downscale from 1680x1050 to 960/600, but this still happens. I even lowered my TEXTURE&SHADOW Quality from both HIGH to both LOW. And turned out almost anything under "advanced" in dota 2. I also use FULLSCREEN instead of Borderless Window.
Vsync is on though, does that matter in any way?

My conclusion:
From what I´ve read and seen it´s just that I need to have a i7-core so I can stream in 720p-1080p. My internet can easily handle it, but my CPU can´t. That´s why even in other games like StarCraft I have 60fps, but in fights 30fps or lower.

If it streamed fine for the first 20 minutes then it should continue streaming fine after that. I would suspect a heat issue with that kind of variable performance.
