Question / Help Terrible FPS while streaming or Recording

Recording/Streaming attempt is missing in that log file.
I also recommend to disable Windows Game DVR and Game Bar.
Next question would be: What is "terrible fps". Is your game dropping fps under 60 or the stream or is the game just looking and feeling laggy, although the fps are fine?

it drops down to about 10-17 fps when trying to stream

Ok, than disable Game DVR and Game Bar, do a test recording, upload that log file and we will see, if there GPU or CPU is overloaded.
I ran a test recording but now when i try to stream it says failed to connect to server. Hostname found but no data of the requested type. i was just working.

also just noticed i dont even have to be streaming or recording i get very bad fps like 10-15 again
TheMezz if you just recently swapped from another CPU to your current, it might be wise doing a clean install of windows. I know it may not sound all that fun of having to re-install everything or back up everything, but I had to. I went from an AMD 8320FX to my current I7 8700K and I recieved a bad boot drive with my pc for windows, so I booted up into my hard drive with my windows, it booted fine, but any games I tried to play would give me 200 frames just sitting still not moving, but when I tried to move it would stutter to 10 frames and worse. Being I have [[1070SLI]] I should be having FPS problems. It may be due to a bad driver or something on windows causing problems.
I do have bad FPS whilst streaming, yesterday it was fine, now today it's garbo, I do not know the cause but all I can say is maybe trying to do a clean install of windows might fix it in your case.
I saw the log file you have a decent rig, so you shouldn't be getting problems like that, and it looks like you are having the same problem I had before clean installing windows.

i never changed CPUs i only added a new monitor for a dual monitor setup
I'm currently posting the same problem and trying to fine detail the post, maybe a dev will come in and share his thoughts on he matter, although mods are kind of up there too! I just have no idea what the problem may be.
In game my FPS is high, but stream sits around 49FPS...

i still get the massive drop down to 11 fps. only happens when i start moving lets say in battleground. when i stand still the frames will go to normal and my video capture is smooth. as soon as i move everything poops the bed and frames drop
That is the problem I was having before I clean installed my PC
I sadly do have to recommend doing a clean install if these settings do not help.
It isn't an obs problem///// I THINK and hope.
otherwise use these settings to test before doing anything
OUTPUT:
Encoder: x264
Enforce streaming service encoder settings: CHECK
Rescale output: 1280x720: CHECK
Rate control: CBR
Bitrate: 3500~4500 (depending on internet speed, I recommend in between these 2)
Use custom buffer size: CHECK
Buffer size: 3500~6000 (also depending on internet//overall PC performance)
Keyframe interval: 0 (will likely auto to 2, but keep it at 0 if it auto's to something else.)
CPU Preset: MEDIUM (do not use anything lower than medium I.E slow//slower)
Profile: HIGH
Tune: either none, fast decode or zerolatency
Now go to VIDEO SETTINGS:
Base canvas: 1280x720
Output resolution: 1280x720
Downscale filter: bilinear//lanczos
Integer fps value: 80~90 (do not use common FPS value as it will not keep a stable FPS of 60 true, it will be going for 60, but usually it will AVG at 59.98 instead of 60 true, thus raising the fps the stream will look buttery smooth, this was my problem that I was looking for until I just recently found it out today by myself.)

i only had to change a few settings there but sadly no help there. i only encountered this problem when i went to a dual monitor setup.
I notice it says you have multiple instances of obs running. make sure you don't have anything but obs and the game running in the background
You are also trying to stream in 1920x1080 @ 60FPS this is very taxing even for extremely powerful machines, I recommend streaming @ 900P or 720P @ 60FPS or higher
You might be trying to record and stream at the same time, I suggest against this, either stream or record, do not do both as your system can't handle it, neither can mine.
Also look up VLC it's a media player and I suggest you get it as OBS uses this I believe
