Question / Help Stuttering issue when streaming at high quality

Hello there, I've been wanting to stream games for quite a while, Dota 2 in particular, and I'd really like to do it with some decent quality. When running the stream in 1080p no downscaling, 60 fps, 4000 kbps and a quality of 8, with the FPS capped at 60 in-game my fps is pretty much never going below 58.

The weird thing is that even though the game tells me that it's running in 60 fps it actually feels as if it's running in 30-50 fps, it gives me a ton of microstutter, it's a bit choppy for lack of a better word. It's definitely not as fluent as 60 fps should be.

Is this just because my computer simply can't handle it?

Windows 7 64-bit
Intel i7-3770k @ Stock speed
16gb DDR3 memory at 1600mhz
nVidia GTX 670

I'm running everything from a SSD.

You should be able to do it, although stuttering seems to be a issue mostly with CPU in particular... Have you tried to enable/disable v-sync, see if it has any difference?

I usually have it disabled since it gives me some weird mouse glitching when it's enabled. I'll try and change it. Otherwise I'm stumped :(. I saw a guy with a worse setup than mine stream at those settings. I do run Dota 2 in max settings and windowed borderless tho, but I doubt that should make any difference, right? Also I disable the view port in OBS and close Chrome in case some flash thing is causing it, no difference.

From my expirience, Dota2 full HD with max settings doesn't work. Even tho I have an i7 2600k overclocked to 4.3Ghz, when fights happen, there are a bunch of lagged frames in OBS and my FPS ingame drop.

On the other hand, flash usually doesn't like 1080p@60FPS and will cause stutter and lag. You may want to change your FPS to 30.
