Question / Help Unsure about what is causing frame drops in OBS Studio.

I honestly have no idea where to start with why my stream is so dodgy. Maybe it's my upload speed but I'm curious why I can't seem to stream at 720p 60 FPS or even 480 FPS. What happens is the stream is perfectly quality even I can play games at 1440p at 60 FPS but OBS frames keep dropping every few seconds. I have checked the heat for my computer specs but that doesn't seem to be the case even when I turn all my fans up to 100%.

My computer specs are:

- AMD Ryzen 1700 (Over clocked to 3.9 Ghz)
- AMD Fury X
- Corsair Vengeance 16GB DDR4 RAM

Here are my internet speeds: - http://beta.speedtest.net/result/6347506331

Here is an example that I can stream at 720p at 60 FPS (Just only on League of Legends and CS GO): - https://www.twitch.tv/videos/146833386

I have tried soo many different settings but I am getting nowhere. Just all the same results so I just want to know what the issue is so I can fix it.

Post a log of a stream please, make sure the log contains "Streaming Stop" before uploading.

https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/please-post-a-log-with-your-issue-heres-how.23074/

I am not sure if this is the expected results you need but when I upload last logs this is all I get with the link: - https://gist.github.com/anonymous/ac20bf8237f9075abc18a36b61392c91

However, when I check current logs this is what I get if this is what you needed?

You're dropping a lot of frames due to the GPU stalling:
Code:
16:12:18.119: Output 'adv_stream': Number of lagged frames due to rendering lag/stalls: 1432 (15.9%)

Are you on driver 17.5.2? If so, try going back to 17.4.4 (stable) and see if it fixes it.

I am on 17.4.4 right now. Maybe I should install the newer patch?

Edit: Nvm I updated and still the same issue.
