Calling all Warzone Single PC Streamers...good "in game" performance, no drop frames, but stuttery/Blurry Stream

As the name suggests, I am trying to stream warzone. I have a lot of my settings optimized (i think). I have very little encoder/render lag and little to no frame drops...I'm hoping someone can help me here. The stream gets blurry and stuttery when the action gets quicker. Like I said zero dropped frames. In game frames stay fairly consistent as well. You can check out the gameplay footage below to help as well.

I run an i9-10900k with an RTX EVGA 3080 both of which are overclocked at a stable level.
32Gb of Ram as well...

Youtube supports up to 51.000kbp/s. I also tried 3.500kbp/s, 6.000kbp/s, 10.000kbp/s, 17.000 kbp/s, 30,000 kbp/s but my issue is clearly not related to bit rates.

If you don’t mind me asking, what is your upload? Also a good thing to remember is that your bitrate can be capped depending on affiliate or partner status.

Youtube says the "Stream Health" is excellent and the bitrate settings are not recommended when beyond 16.000kb/s. I mainly stream Team Fortress 2 but the problem persists on Star Wars Battlefront 2 (2004) and Call of Duty 4. If i'd stream Warzone my OBS would probably uninstall itself.

Please go to OBS and click “help” and select upload last log file. When the pop up shows up, click analyze. Let me know what you find. Sorry about your hatred towards Warzone. You seem to play a lot of classics haha.

I generally stream in 720p with no Rendering Lag and Enconder Overload.
Nothing against Warzone, if those old games already give me a blurry image i'm guessing any modern game would probably make my computer explode... Truth is i really wanted to start streaming for a year now but i can't find a solution to this problem; best way to cheer up is to laugh, i don't know hahaha

I see your base canvas resolution and output are 1080 @ 60fps on a GTX 970...if you change this to 720 @ 30, you could probably reduce your encoder/render lag significantly. Also, your bitrate should make more of a difference?? Also, switch from lanczose or whatever it’s called to bicubic in the downscale filter setting.

I tried but sadly the pixelation was still present. Definitely will give the downscale filter setting a try tomorrow. Thanks for your help, have a nice weekend.

One other thing to look up is whether you should try and encode from x264 (cpu encoding) or nvenc (gpu encoding). Depending on which one the bottle neck is, choosing the one with excess resources would be your best bet. Meaning, if your GPU is maxed out all the time while simply playing games, but your CPU is at 70% or something, I would use CPU encoding. Also, not sure if the GTX 970 has the functionality to run nvenc encoding...sorry I’m new to a lot of this but I’ve picked up quite a bit. Hopefully someone else can chime in.
