So, before reformatting my computer i had a pirated version of windows 7 ( worked fine ) but figured why not just get a real deal. So I reformatted ( onto a SSD now ) and installed obs again. I can stream ANY game with no fps drops ( game capture ) at reasonable quality. Heres my problem, I play AGARIO its what I would stream the most before reformatting and now I cannot. I get a MASSIVE fps drop, from 60-70 average to 20-30. I have reinstalled and tried obs again and still cannot find the problem, I have tried every different setting, dropped my fps in obs to 30, turned my cam off ( got 5-8 fps from that ) and even Screen capture, no dice. I can stream and turn window/screen cap off and my fps shoot up to 70+ but as soon as i click the box to activate the screen/mon cap it drops instantly... Ugh this is annoying. Im extremely frustrated, anyone have any ideas? Will post log below.

The log is incomplete and please use
Code: 
[code]log content here['forward slash'code]
However, you mentioned Monitor Capture and you say you're on Windows 7. Monitor Capture has terrible performance on Windows 7, it's better to use Game Capture set to capture DWM.

1) Enable Aero. It speeds up Window and Game captures significantly. Your log doesn't show a monitor capture, which is a good thing... monitor capture is terribad under Win7 and should (almost) never be used.

2) i5s run out of gas not far past 720p@30fps. You're trying to run at 50fps, which is a bad idea for several reasons. Drop to 720p@30fps, 2000kbps. (Many people will buffer like crazy if you run at 3000kbps, too.)

3) As Xphome said, your logfile is incomplete. I'd advise just using the 'upload' function from the Help menu and pasting the URL it gives you here. We need to see the later parts of the log, as they contain a lot of technical stuff that will point at where the issue is coming from (frame skips, lates, drops, encoding thread time, connection buffering, etc).

I'd set the webcam resolution to a maximum of 720p as well, you're just taxing your system in a very unnecessary way by running it in 1080p.
And if you're using it like most streams do, in a small box in a corner, you won't see any difference even if setting the cam to 480p.

You need to capture your browser as a Window Capture. (Or make a game capture pointed at "DWM.EXE")

Also, the fact that it's a browser is probably the issue. Browsers and OBS don't play well together (even just running a browser in the background while recording can cause issues, especially with chrome). You could try a different browser (non-chrome) or at least close all other tabs besides your game. Maybe that helps.

That actually helped a lot, didnt realize you could game cap DWM... it boosted it to 45-55 so im getting there... Kinda thinking it maybe something with the browser now. Thanks man!
