Question / Help Lagging for some reason

Hello, I use to stream with no problem and then I stopped for a couple months and I started streaming again but it's very laggy and I noticed that it's ONLY lagging on twitch and not on the obs itself. I tried messing around with bitrate and lowering the bitrate did help a little but it made my stream quality really bad. Maybe something wrong with my settings? Also idk if this helps but it mainly seems to lag when there's a lot happening for example in rainbow six siege it mainly starts lagging when I start shooting people which makes no sense to me as my game is fine it's not fps and it's fine in obs but only lagging on twitch itself.

19:42:01.592: Output 'adv_stream': Number of lagged frames due to rendering lag/stalls: 173 (1.8%)
GPU is maxxing out.

Reduce ingame graphics needs and/or limit FPS via VSync.

How is this possible? With my older card (GTX 980 Ti) I could stream at these very same settings on the same games with no problem now with my much better card (GTX 1080) My gpu is getting maxed out? Also as I mentioned my game runs smooth with no lag what so ever and it's smooth on obs aswell the lag is only on the twitch stream

My OBS Studio is version 18.0.1 if this helps. I'm so confused why this is happening I was told that maybe twitch is throttling my stream because of the bitrate? But it makes no sense to me because I use to stream at 2500 all the time and I lowered it to 2000 and even 1500 and it still lags just not as much. The part that's confusing me is that it's not my internet and not my fps so I don't get what's causing the lag :/

Maybe, after the new card was installed, game settings have changed to better graphics, This is what gets no space for OBS to work.

This still makes no sense. For example I checked how much gpu rainbow six siege is taking up it's taking up 2.6gb gpu out of 8. So is 5+gb gpu not enough for obs?

Did you uninstall completely NVIDIA 980 drivers before installing 1080 ones?
You could try DDU http://www.guru3d.com/files-details/display-driver-uninstaller-download.html and clean install 1080 drivers.

But, before trying this, you can try recording using simple settings: (your log shows only recording, not streaming, attempts)
Record Quality Indistinguishable
Encoder NVENC
Format FLV

I'm sorry but I don't think you see what's happening here. You keep telling me things that would affect my fps when it's clearly not an fps issue.

Ashburn has a little less RTT and almost same quality.

You can try a stream to NY, and post that log.
And then, a stream to VA, and post that log.

The log will show if there is any issue connecting servers.
