Wicklow, it would be great if you made a video of you downloading and setting your FPS settings to whatever got it to boost by 50. So maybe a short tut on youtube? Then post the link in here or even embed the video.

The best solution for FPS/performance increase while recording/streaming, is to record onto a separate hard drive (hdd). Let me give a basic run-down of what happens, let me explain why this helps with streaming as well first.
When streaming, you're saving a temp. video file to your hard drive, and then uploading that file to the stream, so you're comp is pulling info off the HDD to play the game, you're saving a file back to the HDD, and you're uploading a video from that HDD, all at the same time. Your HDD can only handle a certain amount of traffic, because the hard drive can only read/write 1 byte at a time.
When you use a 2nd hard drive, you're uploading game info from your HDD, and all the video saving/uploading is happening on a separate HDD, effectively doubling your speed.
The bottleneck occurs on the HDD, so once you solve that, you can move on to the next problem!
