Stream looks like 15-20 fps with only 1% dropped frames

It is how the title says i ended up streaming on youtube cause people were surprisingly interested in it when i did it once.
I did alot of researching and testing before i did go live the first time cause youtube has some weird logic when it comes to streams, especially if youre not a huge channel and ended up going with 720p upscaled to 1440p uploaded with 11.5k bitrate, for various reasons im willing to explain later if youre wondering why or want to argue that this is dumb.

Running a gtx 1660 ti with 32gb ram and a ryzen 5 3600 with about 4.2ghz-
Im on nvenc new, got look-ahead and pycho visual tuning turned off, preset on quality, profile on high and run obs as admin- Now my problem is that obs shows me im supposedly doing full 60fps while i drop only 1% or lower of fps, consistent of about 0.3% rendering lag 0% network and 0.5% encoding lag. But when i go back and watch the stream it looks like im streaming on like 20 fps, i dont understand.
I dont have viewers complaining about buffering or lagging, they dont even complain about the quality which is good and acceptable to them, as i had to start streaming in my native language the internet here is very good- this is something that is bothering me, as i plan on using stream footage to make actual content, and that is gonna look like i dont know what im doing on account of what looks like low fps.

I would really apprechiate some ideas, i have been researching this for a while now but the internet is saturated with people who just dont anything, and you keep finding the same answers to dumb problems everywhere, maybe mine is dumb too- probably is, i dunno.
I keep reading/hearing low fps are a cause of bad internet setting and dropped frames, as where i have extensively tested my setup, my upload is consitent and i never drop more than 1% frames, nothing that warrants this kind of low fps looking s#it that ends up on the youtube servers after they are done trying to encode it down to a blurry mess.

I can post logs if you need them, i didnt do so now because the stats i have been reading out while streaming suggest no hardware or network issues.

Thanks in advance

Yea i got obs open on my second screen and when i look over while im playing, it looks super fucked up somehow but seems to make it to youtube properly, i have no idea whats going on. Maybe thats normal.
Im new to the streaming stuff, i used to just make videos before , so i never had to monitor whats happening in obs before.

Its been a while i actually watched one of the streams after i finished them, so i just completly freaked and lost it. They look absolutely fine there so i guess it doesnt really matter anymore, thanks for the time you took to answer and try to help me, i really apprechiate it.
