Post a logfile from a live session at least 5 minutes in length. You can find them under the Help menu.

Yep. 1080@60 at 3300kbps on a six-core AMD isn't going to work. At all.

Downscale to 720p@30fps, use 2000kbps with x264 on the Veryfast preset. You may have to go to 480p though, as AMD are quite bad at real-time video encoding; an 8000-series AMD is on par with a mid to low end i5.

As far as bitrate goes, 1080@60 would start around 6000kbps to not look terrible. But even at 3300kbps almost no one is going to be able to watch without going into buffering hell. 2000 is the usable non-partnered breakpoint where most people should be able to watch with a minimum of buffering. Even going to 2500 will significantly increase buffering issues.
