Question / Help Advice to help make stream more sharper/less pixelated

Here is the vod: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/138165104

Also running a 75% saturation increase, might be a lot but to me it looks pretty good. I have tried removing it and its not affecting the pixelation which is expected.

I have tried many other settings from multiple forums/guides and ended up with these settings through mutiple resets.
When I tried 1080p 60fps, it just lagged a lot on stream when watching it on my mobile phone. It's just not good so perhaps 1080p 30fps would be better. Just every other game I play I rather stream in 60fps. Just battlegrounds being the most pixelated to me.

Any help would be appreciated!

Don't take this as the solution, it's merely a suggestion.
Depending on your upload speed, you should consider raising your bitrate. Especially if you are trying to stream at 1080p60. Also I've read somewhere that NVENC is not suited to use as encoder when you use low bitrates, it actually works loads better when you have really high bitrates (50000 and such).

My recommendation is:
1. Stream at 1080p30
2. Increase bitrate to ~2800-3500 depending on your upload of course
3. Untick "Enforce streaming service encoder settings"
4. If you change encoder to x264, set preset to "veryfast" and profile to "high"

Hope that helps.
