Just wanted to start out by saying I don't think this is going to be an OBS issue. I wanted to create a thread that might get referenced in the future by others who may be having similar issues in the hopes that members of the community might come across potential fixes later.
The other day I attempted to stream and was dropping 10-50% of the frames. After trying to trouble shoot settings I finally decided to go back to tech support 101 and restarted the computer. Started streaming and after about 383 dropped frames within the first few minutes things settled down and I had a buttery smooth stream for about two hours. After about two hours the dropped frames returned with a vengeance and I started to drop about 20% of the frames.
I have a Ryzen 7 1800x stock clock with a Gigabyte Gaming 5 X370 mother board. The system has 32gb G Skill 2400mhz ram. I'm streaming games like Elite Dangerous and Rocket League to ReStream but have tested it to individual services with the same results.
I stream with a canvas resolution of 2560x1080 and re-scale to 1706x720 @ 60fps. Typically output at 5000kbps with an internet connection of 200 down 20 mbps up. I use Nvenc H.264 encoding to offload to the EVGA GTX 1080 and use CBR.
Here is a link to the stream for anyone who is interested. As you will see everything is buttery smooth till right about the 2h 8min mark when the frame drops started to occur.

I find the issue odd because nothing is really changing on the system and if it were the CPU choking I would think it would be doing it all along and not start over two hours into a game.
