OBS Pixelation

Hello!

I stream Rust which I know I'm never really going to get rid of the pixelation that happens when running around, but I know friends/other streamers that have much nicer looking streams than I do on single PC's and I'm running a dual.

There pixelation is there, but not insanely bad like mine is, can someone please explain or point me in the right direction of where I'm going wrong?

My PC specs are:

Gaming :
i7 10700K
RTX 3080
32GB RAM

Streaming PC :
i7 7700K
GTX 1080
16GB RAM

I use the Elgato 4K M.2 as my capture card set on 1080p

on OBS I use the x264 encoder on the "fast" preset, streaming at the output resolution of 1600x900 = 900p on twitch as source.

I also stream at 60fps on the lancoz filter.

That's pretty much my settings, yet my stream looks really bad and overall just bad, when I feel like it shouldn't?

Thanks for your time and help! :)

+ bit or -resolution = better quality

but the "real" game changer encode with the 30xx nvenc with maxquality, preset high , lookahead active, psycho active bframe 2/4
the 1080 nvenc is less good then the 20/30

related if you use the stream pc and related to the "free" cpu power increase the x264 quality
ultrafast worst Quality at same bitrate
medium related to the 30xx good quality at same bitrate
without change bitrate and resolution you can increase quality with this setting
or combine

Click to expand...
so 720p60fps

my 7700K in stream PC x264 @6000 bitrate you'd say is a good choice? on medium preset for cpu

if the cpu can handle it yes
you need to test it
x264 cpu requirement increase with the amount of changes there try to encode
so if youhave "issues" you can try the same with the nvenc of the 1080 its less good then the new nvenc's but related to cpu ability it can be better then the x264

you need to test
