Question / Help Lag problems but frames do not drop...

It looks fine to others but while I'm in game it feels like the game is tearing/skipping or we would say "lagging".
When I put the downscale resolution down to 1.75
it works flawlessly but at the cost the viewers not being able to see the text and the quality is decreased.

What would be optimal settings for me if anyone had some insight ?

I also had a question about my 1280 x 1024 monitor. I wish I could afford a widescreen monitor right now, but I can't so when I stream, there are parallel boxes on the left and right sides (obviously haha).
The game I stream is War Thunder and it's at about 1280 x 1024, Is there anything I can do or is it that I just have to get a widescreen monitor so I don't sacrifice quality ?

This is what it looks like right now ! http://www.twitch.tv/snipe_shogun/b/461718982

The log itself doesn't look bad, so OBS is performing OK. Feeling decreased performance is to be expected when streaming. You could try dropping your x264 preset to superfast, but that will have a noticeable decrease in quality.

As for the monitor, the best solution is to get a widescreen monitor. Alternatively, you could play the game in Windowed mode at a 16:9 resolution. It's up to you.

Thanks Dodgepong ! I've skimmed a lot of your posts about the presets, thanks for helping everybody out :)
