This is probably a common problem which I still haven't been able to find the solution to. I have been trying to set up my recording settings in OBS for a while and have been on it today alone for about 2 hours. I'm certain that I can record 1080p60 for youtube but I just can't get the right settings. These are my current settings for recording. Also, if anyone cares, I have an i5-6600k with 8GB ram and a GTX 1070.
Pics below are my output and video settings that i'm trying to work with.
