Bug Report Random FPS drops while streaming LoL

Hi guys!

I started streaming recently and really like to do it, but I cant stream important games because in every game I'm getting random ingame fps drops. In standard case my fps is around 100 while the stream is online, then suddenly it drops to 10-15 for a brief time, 3-4 times in every game. I noticed, that my CPU usage goes up to 80-85% when the lag starts. I tried to switch literally everything off, except LoL and OBS but the fluctuations returned every time. Please help me figuring out what is wrong with my setup.

Standard stream fps with OBS on:

My OBS settings are:
Encoding - Quality 8 ; bitrate 3000 buffer 3000
Video - Custom 1920x1080 Resolution Downscale to 1.5 (1280x720)
Advanced - Use Multithread Optimizations - ProcessPriority above normal
Advanced (video) x264 cpu preset - veryfast

My hardware:
AsRock 970 Extreme3
Amd FX-8120 @ 3.1Ghz
Corsair Venegance 8Gb@1866Mhz
Nvidia GTX 660
Win7-64 OPsystem

My internet speed (50/5):

Bump

Still having the same spikes in CPU usage. I've read something about having problems with AMD cpu's on streaming, but still don't know how to fix it... :\

Sorry it has been so long, but can you post a log from the latest version of OBS? The newer logs have much better debugging information in them.

The only thing that really eats up CPU in OBS is the encoder, and we didn't make that. A way to know for sure if it's the encoder or not is simply by trying it with preview with the "Disable encoding while previewing" option checked in advanced.

It's the most widely used and highly optimized encoder on the market, so I feel like if you're having issues it's outside interference of some sort. Perhaps other applications, or CPU throttling of some sort (though I have very little experience in that arena, maybe others might be able to shed light on that).

I do not feel this is a bug, but a system-specific issue, though I can understand why you may have mistaken it as a bug. If it were a bug it would happen with everybody, which it definitely doesn't otherwise I'd be getting reports about it non-stop.
