Question / Help Twitch Stream is really choppy/laggy?

I've been testing out my stream for hours now, and I can't figure out why my stream is so laggy for people who view it. I use OBS, and when I preview on that, everything is fine. However, when I check Twitch itself to see how it is, I notice that everything is laggy and choppy. Is there any reason as to why this would happen??

I'm on my PC with the following specs:

  • Motherboard: Gigabye GA-9990FXA-UD3 AM3+ AMD 990FX + SB950 SATA 6 Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard
  • Power Supply: Thermaltake TR2 TR-600 600W ATX12V v2.3 SLI Crossfire Power Supply
  • RAM: G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL9D-
  • Video Card: GIGABYTE GV-R726XWF2-2GD REV2 Radeon R7 260X 2GB 128-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 X16 HDCP Ready Video Card (Using AMD Radeon R7 200 Series as my video adapter)
(If any other specs are required, please let me know. I figured I'd just list the ones that "may" be culprits)

I use OBS, and it doesn't matter if my Max Bitrate/Buffer Size is between 500-2500, it still really choppy on Twitch.

My Stream FPS is set to 30. My In Game FPS is capped at 60. My Streaming Resolution/In-game Resolution is 1920 x 1080.

If there is anymore information that is needed, please let me know. Any help would be highly appreciated. Thank you!!
