The main issue here is that you're downscaling to a resolution lower than what I used in the early 90s to play my old DOS games.

Go to Settings > Video and configure your base resolution to be 1920x1080, then use the resolution downscale to select 1280x720. There's no reason to use NVENC on that system either, so go to Settings > Encoding and witch the encoder back to x264. After making these changes you'll probably need to select your main source and press Ctrl+F to fit it to your newly resized scene. After that things should look a lot better.

Regarding the dropped frames, refer to https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/dropped-frames-disconnecting-lag-read-this-first.8870/

If you're extremely bandwidth-limited then you'll probably want to downscale further but that will take a bit of experimentation on your part.

You can increase the bitrate if you have the available upstream bandwidth (though more than 2500 Kbps for 720p30 is a little excessive, and 3500 Kbps is the Twitch maximum) or downscale the video to a lower resolution.
