Question / Help Old PC with OBS Classic ran fine, new PC with OBS Studio drops FPS?

My old PC rig was a 8GB RAM GeForce GTX650 with i5-4460 and I could rather efficiently stream League of Legends while maintaining 60fps both in-game and on stream. I recently upgraded my gear to 16GB RAM, Radeon RX480 NITRO 8GB with i7-4770, fresh installed PC and everything; and when I try to stream I get my FPS drop on stream by like 35% on OBS Studio, no matter what I do. Also, the OBS can't seem to pick up my Razer ManOWar headphones (picks up its microphone, not the earphones).

What settings should I use? (my monitor is 1680x1050 if it matters) and how can I make the OBS read my earphones?

When maxing graphics, you loose FPS.
Reduce FPS in game or use VSYNC

The 30% fps drop occurs even when I'm literally streaming my desktop with nothing open on it though. I checked the post and even ran the quotes on my logs to see if I had one of the "criterias" to having this issue
(gs_texture_open_shared (D3D11): Failed to open resource (887A0005) for example)

and I didn't find any.

Run gpu-z and provide a screenshot of the output.

The bulk of your problem appears to be in the video card.

Seems impossible. I have an RX480 NITRO+ 8GB OC and literally as soon as I start streaming the fps (only on OBS) has 30% drops. I've been streaming right now for 4 and a half hours, with 326,000 dropped frames (33%) on OBS. The stream itself seems to run relatively smooth on my PC when I check twitch, but it sometimes freezes for one second (not loading, just freezing) then returns to smooth sailing. My in-game FPS is well over the 200/300 even with the stream turned on.

Dropped frames as reported in the OBS status bar are a separate issue from what you've described.

All of these don't apply to me. If I run the stream on OBS Classic these 30% fps drops don't occur.

EDIT: I triple-checked, reduced my kbps from 2500 to 2000 (even though I have 3mb upload) and wasn't on the most ideal server for me (was on Amsterdam, but apparently Paris gives me less latency and more kbps availability.) Currently @2000 kbps with less than 5% fps drops. :)

Dropped frames means that the guide DOES apply to you.

Also, latency is meaningless for streaming. Your target server should be the one with the highest quality, not the lowest latency.
