absurd fps drops while streaming

So I recently got a new gfx card, 760, to go alongside my 4ghz amd cpu. Now for some odd reason, i get insane fps drops, beyond anything that should even be imaginable.

Tf2 when i'm not streaming is anywhere around 300-400 fps
streaming I get 80-120, but I'm getting insane dips to 20fps, for what seems to be no reason.

I use OBS to stream to twitch.tv, I close everything I can to get maximum performance out of my tf2 and my stream, but the problem persists. I've tried reinstalling my card drivers and my OBS, with no luck.

Any ideas?

Edit : yeah, i meant i drop TO 20 fps.

I doubt it would be based on your gfx card since tf2 is mainly cpu intensive.

I would assume your stream settings are just bad.

what CPU are you using specifically and is it overclocked?

I didnt have this issue on my old card, 650ti, i havent tinkered with my stream setting whatsoever when i swapped them out.

does OBS recognize your gfx card or do you have it selected in the options?

nvm, your obs log says it shows the 760 "15:46:31: Loading up D3D10 on NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 (Adapter 1)..."

Someone on the OBS forum's thread mentioned that I should try setting my max fps to 120, tried it, fps drops persisted.

I did some poking around at my processes, whenever i get an fps drop, my CPU usage spikes to 90%+, with obs taking up over 25% of it.

are you playing on windowed? i streamed before with insane fps drops and the solution was to switch to full screen. hope that helps!

Nope, full screen using game capture on tf2.

Turns out i was using the wrong bit-version of obs, 32 instead of 64, however this doesnt seem to effect me at all :/

a drop of 20 FPS is not what I'd call insane...

you're streaming. it's going to happen.

capping FPS helps with inconsistencies won't help with the low end of your FPS range but is still recommended. are you playing in full screen? use obs game capture.

amd is ass for streaming

i dont know why youd drop THAT much money on a new gpu when pretty much everything you play is very cpu based

i used a i5 2500k and a 3 year old gtx 460 and i still hover around 200 fps when i stream at 720p

MR_SLINa drop of 20 FPS

It's possible he meant to say a drop to 20fps, not a drop of 20fps. In that case I'd agree that that it's a pretty insane drop, I'd guess it's some major overheating happening.

Woops, yeah, i'm dropping TO 20 fps. Even for streaming, i doubt seeing my OBS jumping from 17% cpu usage to 50% is normal.

This is 1) Not true, and 2) not productive to the conversation.

I'm using an FX8350 (default clock) as well, with a GTX570 and never drop below my FPS cap of 200.
Even my FX8120 @ 3.7Ghz rarely dropped below ~170 while streaming.

Have you checked your temperatures? If you installed your heatsink wrong you may be getting throttled. This while likely happen somewhere in the 60-70 degree range.

Nope, watercooler is keeping my cpu at a nice 54c, and card sticks to 50c aswhell. My OBS process spikes to 60% cpu usage whenever I get an fps drop, so its a full obs issue.
