Hey there,

I recently downloaded OBS in hopes to start livestreaming video games that I play. But unfortunately no matter what settings I change/mess with, when I livestream on Twitch, my video is extremely laggy, and I am constantly dropping around 60% of frames or more.

I know my PC computer isn't bad, as I have upgraded several pieces recently within the past month or two. I have a 64 bit Windows 7 computer with 16GB of ram installed. I also have a Radeon 6770 graphics card, and an AMD FX(tm)-4100 Quad Core Processor. (I'm not sure how good my processor is, since I have had it for awhile now). I'm not a computer genius or anything like that, so I have no idea if my computer specifications are good/bad.

I'm just really trying to figure out what settings I need to put on my OBS software in order for my computer to stream video games without lagging or constantly dropping over 60% of the frames.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Your bitrate is a bit too low for 720p. Generally 2000/2000 minimum is recommended. Either increase the bitrate, or decrease the resolution.

As for frames dropping, in addition to what muf said, make sure to check the servers to find a server that you have no problems with if you're certain you have the bitrate available to do it.
