High GPU Usage / Streaming Issues

I made a thread here https://answers.ea.com/t5/General-Feedback/Game-Optimization-Heavy-GPU-usage/td-p/7538468 which was in the wrong area I think, but essentially this game uses so much GPU even on the lowest/disabled settings that it leaves little to no room for anything else, which makes it hard to stream not just for me but for many others as well. The only "solution" I found to work after hours of test streams and trying other people's solutions to the problem is to limit the game's fps to 30 instead of 60, but it drives me bonkers doing that and puts me at a disadvantage over others at 60+fps.

My specs are:

Ryzen 7 1700x CPU
GeForce GTX 1060 GPU 6 GB
16 GB of RAM

I use x264 to stream since that uses your CPU, but it still uses a bit of GPU. I have to disable my overlays on my stream or my OBS will use 10-20% GPU. Without my overlays, it uses 5-10% GPU and the game uses 20-40% when in lobby/character selection, and then anywhere from 40-95% when in game, leaving barely anything for OBS. 

I'm not super tech savvy but I've been told I have a decent to good rig and should be able to stream this game no problem... But I can't. I'd love to stream this game and I'm frustrated because I can't find a real solution :/ 

I don't know if it's just how the game was made and it's going to be changed eventually since it's new. I don't know if it's optimization. I just can't find a real fix for this and it's really frustrating.
