Question / Help Stream FPS terrible, Game FPS fine

I started messing with OBS about 2 days ago and I first used lower resolutions to test if it would run well enough. Here is one of my previously recorded video of my playing the game with good fps and a smooth stream.
The stream was recorded with in-game resolution at the following:
(In-game resolution - 1440 x 900)

Now at this point I wanted a higher quality stream because i would be able to handle it. When I try to use my native resolution (1920x1080) it just doesn't want to be smooth. I've made multiple recordings to try and fix this issue but I can't figure out what to do.

If someone could please let me know how to fix this issue I'd love you! =)

Thank you in advance.

Here is the code for my latest attempt at 1920x1080 streaming.

First of all give up on 1080p @ 60fps because there is little to no way that your system can handle that.
Also please tell us your upload and test it on Speedtest.net.

You mifght want to try 1280x720 @60 fps and see if it helps. For 1920x1080 u need atleast an i7 i assume

Playing the game in my native resolution (1920x1080) and setting the stream resolution to (1280x720) gives me the same problem..

but if i were to play the game at 1280x720 or for example the 1st stream (1440x900), it gives me better results but I don't want to play under those resolutions because they're blurry for me.

Edit: my speedtest results are an average of

Download: 16 - 26mbs
Upload: 6mbs

Comcast has been sucking here lately ;/

Edit2: I went ahead and made a short clip of what i mean,
i changed my downscale to 1280x720 and kept my in-game resolution to my native which is 1920x1080 in this clip -- http://www.twitch.tv/zetkay/b/379608724
I have 60+ FPS ingame but the stream shows maybe 5fps.

Here is another clip, i've changed my in-game resolution to 1440x900 and kept the downscale at 1280x720 and as u can see the results are better but i don't want to play at a lower resolution.

I suspect you may be limited by your GPU here. OBS uses the GPU quite a bit to render the scene and such, and your GPU is on the weak side by today's standards.
