Question / Help Massive FPS drop and very choppy

Hey everyone, I'll start off with comp specs

Gigabyte 980 ti
5930k 3.5 i7 (OC'd to 4.5)
32 gigs of ram @ 3000
ASUS x99-a mobo
2560x1440 acer monitor

Most games run 60-150+ fps most of the time I lock it to 70-80 range

My rig should be able to handle this and yet it is struggling. Even previewing stream drops me to 30 fps on desktop and I've seen as low as 11 in WoW, but it seems more ''choppy'' then it just being lower fps but could be just me. Just trying to get a feeling for streaming and start off just simple things, nothing crazy. I've been reading guides and I just don't know what I'm missing and this is pretty much my first attempt at this so maybe someone can point it out. I'm pretty confident that this computer can handle 1080 streaming but I've come across a problematic issue being my monitor I chose is 2560x1440 (I've tried a few different settings here from searching online, manually entering it down to 1080 but that had little to no effect). Internet connection included in pic below so honestly I cannot see an issue with why its causing such massive FPS drops but then again I'm extremely new to the software and I'm almost certain I'm overlooking something. Anything helps guys, I appreciate it!


Not a very long log just fired it up for a little bit so if longer time is needed let me know.



EDIT: One other thing; my CPU is not maxing out. Hits about 23% with preview running. FPS drops and is very very choppy down to 11-30 fps


EDIT2: So disabling my webcam was able to get a little more FPS but its still very choppy, but why is the webcam locking it at around 30 fps? Either way disabling it didn't fix the problem it helped a little but not enough, plus I want to use the webcam lol.

Here's the problem
Your graphics card.
Is it running in 16x pci-e mode?

So this is where my lack of knowledge is gonna come in. I'm assuming by this I'm only using 1 vs having 16???? Also how do you correct this? I currently have it in the second PCI slot, and after looking at it again it will probably fit in the first pci slot. Would the be causing an issue? I don't see why it would though.

x1 is VERY poor for the card.
Check with gpu-z instead of cpu-z though.
I just went ahead and put it into slot 1 and everything appears to be working correctly now. Getting x16 and OBS appears to be running smooth now! Thanks for the help!
