Streaming Causing Frame Drops?

[RelentlessAF]

Hey guys, so I have actually really good internet right now where I'm at 70 down and 50 up. I wanted to do some streaming in my free time and decided to do CS:GO since that is a game I really enjoy playing. However when I start the stream and play my framerate drops from about 170+ fps down to 70-90 and is extremely choppy despite not dropping below 60 fps. In the game everything is set to low. I have a Lenovo y50 laptop that has relatively decent specs however I feel like it's something with the settings I have chosen. I'm trying to stream at 720p60, I have the x264 CPU preset set to medium currently.'

 

 

In case you don't feel like looking it up the laptops specs are:

 

CPU: intel i7 4700HQ @ 2.4Ghz

RAM: 8GB

GPU: Nvidia GTX 860M

OS: Windows 8.1 64 bit (haven't gotten around to getting Windows 10 I just got back from a month long training exercise.)

 

Any ideas?

What encoder are you using? Also, might want to check CPU usage. When you stream there will always be a bit of latency unless you are using a splitter to stream, just so you know.

x264, the CPU usage is looks to be about 50% when I stream

 

EDIT: My bad, it lowers really fast when I alt-tab out. It's in the 90's.

When streaming you will always see a loss in FPS generally, even a few

if you need to just use the fast profile fir your CPU loses quality but makes up some frames. but you always lose frames streaming. its fine as long as it still looks decent. so like 30 fps is fine
