Question / Help Stream Freezing

Hello, I'm having some issues with my stream freezing.

System Specs:
  • i5-4690K @ 4.2GHz
  • 16GB 2133MHz DDR3 (2x8)
  • GeForce GTX 980 Ti 6GB @ 1240MHz
And I'm streaming with these settings:
  • NVENC encoder
  • 1280x720 resolution
  • 36 sample filter
  • 60 FPS (also tried at 30, no difference to performance)
  • 2900 bitrate
  • 2900 buffer
  • CBR
  • minimize network impact
  • delay 0
  • High Quality preset
  • encoding profile: main
  • keyframe interval: 2
  • CFR
And I'm streaming to the Seattle (US West) twitch server as I live in BC Canada.

If I read the file correctly, it doesn't look like there are any frame drops caused by insufficient processing power (not surprising since while streaming I still maintain 100+ FPS in games) so I would guess that the problem is network related, but I have 6Mbps upload speed (confirmed via Speedtest to always be >5.5Mbps) and have my bitrate set to 2900, so that should be plenty of breathing room?
