So I've been trying to stream CS:GO in the past few days and I've noticed that without "minimize network impact" option activated I get laggy animations and weird glitches but I'm able to stream 720p @ 60fps. When I activate that option, I no longer have those glitches in game but I do get some stuttering every 3 or 4 seconds. I don't think this is a problem with FPS as I get ~300 fps while streaming. How can this option cause my cs go to stutter? The only way to get rid of this stuttering and keeping the option activated is to reduce the stream fps to about 40 but I have a quite powerful CPU (i7 4790k) and GPU (gtx 980) so I should be able to stream 720p60fps even with "Minimize network impact" activated... Here is the log from my most recent stream.
