Yeah I am using a capture card, sorry for the confusion. I set it on and played Destiny for about 12 minutes, stopped streaming and changed a couple of audio options, and streamed again for another 10 minutes. After those 2 sessions I took this log file:

I also did another bandwidth test while I was streaming during the 2nd session for comparison. I have a feeling this has something to do with my ISP and not my computer/OBS settings but I'm not sure:

yeah something is clearly wrong. its either chipset drivers, to much software running in the background, core parking or to much CPU heat.
dont run the twitch test while you are streaming. run the test separately.
scene buffering to 2000? 2500? just leave it to 700, at most maybe 1000 but 700 should be fine.
I guess you didn't read what I wrote.
do me a favor and remove the capture card source from all scenes, make a new scene, switch to it then make a new global source, video capture device and point it to the elgato, then add that global source to a scene.
Also, what else do you have running in task manager?
do you monitor heat? also in device manager do you have anything with a yellow exclamation point?
lastly, when you post a log with all these changes, I have to scroll forever to get your current settings. that's all really want I need. after you set the settings I showed you, restart OBS and stream for 5 minutes then post that logfile.
