I have built a PC and got the totally one of a kind idea to stream. *chuckles in sarcasm* Anyway I know that my PC should have no problem streaming or recording.

Specs:
CPU I7 8700k
GPU GTX 1080 8gb
RAM 16GB

It is able to stream, it is able to record. However, the recording stutters. Audio is perfect, visuals look good. I have tried all the different encoding options (software and hardware) I have tried different quality of video, HQ, Indistinguishable, etc. All with the same stutter. It doesn't matter how hard the game is to run or not. It is there in all of them. Any ideas whats screwed up?

Thank you all a million for yalls help!

It happens with all games no matter the graphics settings or which encode i choose. While I am playing it is fine. It is the actual recording, or the file going to twitch that gets chopped. The whole time playing The computer stays over 100fps. Staying solid at 144 in DOOM even while recording/streaming. I have tried also different file variants flv, mp4, and mov. They all yield the same choppy footage. The picture quality is fine, it just seems like its losing chunks of video.

Just use Shadowplay from Nvidia. And use 7 Mbps to stream ... umm, they changed it (I didn't know that). Okay the point is, I was always like "hey I have 400 Mbps upload speed, I should stream at maximum power" and it stuttered. Lowered to what someone said somewhere, which was 7 Mbps instead of like 13 or what I wanted to use and it solved it instantly.

Nvidia shadowplay works perfect and amazing, you just need decent internet. And play with the connection or streaming bits, to make it run smoother, that's how I fixed mine, I used to have OBS and other apps, none works as smooth as Shadowplay.

Also you do realize Twitch has like 1080p 60 fps maximum, right? It won't look as "Sexy" as your 144 fps.

Yeah I understand I cant upload the 144 fps. The video quality however is missing frames here and there, as well as looking somewhat blurry.

I linked a video of bench marking my main game while recording. The game itself was perfectly fine with no performance dips or anything.

I did try shadow play however it screwed with my two monitor setup making so that I was unable to keep an eye on twitch chat and stream/recording quality. TBH I am okay with my stream not looking as perfect as my recordings. I want the recordings to look top notch. I like obs because of how simple it is. I am just wondering how to make it look good. Thanks for the advice.

Seriously? If anything OBS is the one that most need to watch an advanced tutorial on just to know how to use it and what settings to use. ShadowPlay by comparison is pretty much self explanatory.

If you insist on using OBS, I suggest you watch a good guide on it that includes streaming settings, because it sounds like you haven't, or did but the guide was not very good.

The main thing you need to know is that OBS has to be set to use Nvidia's hardware encoding (NVENC), to have any chance of coming close to ShadowPlay on performance. If you're not using NVENC, that is most of your problem.
