Hello everybody, first off I would like to say that I an new to OBS and streaming in general. I am also not the most tech savvy person in the world so if I don't understand something or ask something stupid I apologize. I have been attempting for a while now to provide a good quality stream to twitch tv with no avail. The two games I am mainly looking to stream are League of Legends and World of Warcraft. The only issue im having is with in game Lag/Slight FPS drops. The lag seems to start when program is opened. I don't usually drop below 55FPS while streaming either game, which may not seem like much, but to me the lag and constant studdering is rather annoying and almost unbearable compared to when i'm not streaming. The preview pane and stream itself seem to have no problems atall.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Things I have tried to help with lag with no success:
-I usually stream with music (Spotify/Pandora) but have tried without
-Aero disabled (I have set to disable at start up)
-Stream at a lower resolution (Have tried as low as 420p)
-Usually capturing in stream capture but have also tried game source (capture) with no noticeable change
-Removed/ and or made preview pane smaller
-Lowering Quality Balance
-Lowering game resolution to same as stream res (1280x720).. (2x ATI Radeon HD 6850 crossfire enabled in CCC). When NOT streaming can only play WoW @1920x1080 @60FPS on good settings once I go past that my fps start to drop
-Tried 32-bit/64-bit and new test client
-Lowering captured FPS to 25
-Usually play games with V-Sync Enabled and in Windowed (borderless)
-If it helps atall I also have this same issue with X-split which is making me believe that my computer can't handle streaming

*@6:43 I was moving screen back and forth and seeing some kind of what looks like screen tearing or just possibly lag in game
