Question / Help Stream totally sucks, dropping frames all day (CS:GO)

Hey guys! New to streaming and I have done a bit of research, but I am not finding the answers I need.

In OBS, I get a warning about using too much CPU and tells me to turn down settings only in game. When I view my stream on twitch, it captures maybe 1-5 frames every 20 seconds (a lot of dropped frames).

Anyhow here are my specs:
Intel i5 3570k @ 3.4GHz
MSI z77-g45
Zotac GTX 970 4GB
Corsair Vengeance 8GB RAM
WD Black 7200RPM HDD
100mbps/10mbps

Here are my settings:
Native: 1080p
Downscale: 720p
FPS: 60
Bitrate: 3500/3500

I am caputuring game play via Game Capture, running a few CLR Browser plugins and have a few texts on my stream.

How am I able to fix my problem, while maintaining 150+ FPS in game?

I don't know which settings I should have, but I want to make sure I have 60fps, so it looks real time.

if you absolutely have to have 60fps then try 480p or 540p @60fps. you could also try one of the alternative fps which would be 45fps 48fps or even 54fps.

lastly, dont preview in OBS or watch your own stream in a browser while you stream.

if you want a little more detail, post a log file

It's fixed now... With some research with what the hell was going on with my CPU and new VGA, my CPU was bottle necking my VGA.

Anyway, here are some settings I have for a really nice stream.

CPU:
i5-3570k 3.4GHz @ 4.3GHz w/ Evo 212

VGA:
Zotac GTX 970 +200 Core Clock +220 Mem Clock

OBS:
60 FPS
1.5 Downscale (from 1080p)
keyint = 2
3500 Bitrate (CBR w/ locking buffer)
Game Capture

Results:
Temps are < 50*C
FPS in-game is 200+
There aren't any lost frames in-game or on stream. Everything seems to be working fine - so far... :D
 
So what have you changed? I see that in first post you have got same settings? And what do you mean "3500 Bitrate (CBR w/ locking buffer)" "locking buffer"? Did you just overclocked your CPU and GPU?
 
your cpu isnt bottlenecking your gpu at all if you would run some old intel p4 or some really old amd then there would be bottlenecking but with anything released after ~2011 theres usually no realy bottlenecking at all except if you would underclock your cpu and disable cores and play high cpu intensive games on top.


also csgo is based on the source engine which is mainly cpu based so 720p60 + csgo on an i5 can run into limits

as a little example my i7 2700k@4,5ghz runs at around 60-80% with 720p60 on veryfast with +fps_max 200 set on csgo, obs and csgo running on high priority 4 threads csgo 6threads obs. so i got only 2 threads overlapping each other
