Bug Report In-Game FPS is smooth but stream and OBS's FPS is choppy

So when I try streaming with OBS on Minecraft using Game Capture, it works sometimes, but when I try streaming other games whether it be window capture or monitor capture, or game capture, the game runs smooth but OBS makes the game look like it's running at 10 fps making the stream really laggy. I have tried almost anything to fix it and look at other posts and nothing seems to work. PLEASE HELP. I will upload the OBS Log with all my settings if anyone can help me out.

Kind of hard to tell from that log, since it only shows you previewing the stream for 1 second. Can you post a log from a longer streaming session?

Without really knowing, my guess is that your GPU is your bottleneck here. It's a pretty old card and could be slowing down the capture process.

Yep, it definitely looks like the main problem is the GPU. The "fast" preset certainly doesn't help either, but the main problem is the GPU bottleneck. It's a 7-year-old GPU, so you can't expect the kind of performance out of it that streaming demands.

Alright thanks, I plan on getting a Radeon HD 7950 in august, will that help make the stream better quality?

It will let you stream without lagging so many frames, so yes, it will make the stream better.
