1. Your gigabit-capable network card is only connecting at 100mbps. This may indicate a bad network cable or outdated router / switch which could be impacting network performance.
2. Stream with a wired connection, change server.
3. Disable Hardware-accelerated GPU Scheduler.
4. Enable Game Mode.
5. Binding to a manually chosen IP address is rarely needed. Go to Settings -> Advanced -> Network and set "Bind to IP" back to "Default".
6. At least one of your audio devices has a sample rate that doesn't match the rest. OBS Sample Rate set it to 48000 Hz.
7. Disable Psycho Visual Tuning.
8. Set profile to High instead of Main.
9. Limit your fps in game, lower your settings, disable obs preview.

Hi thanks for the reply!

i did all your steps besides updating my network switch because its already updated
anyway in the log it says game mode off, but its on,
instead of 0.2-0.8% rendering and encoding lag its 0.1% at the moment.
Also i have put my preset on quality and high, but it still looks a little pixelated, could i run max quality? or just up my bit rate.
Cheers.

This is what Twitch recommends. If you are Twitch partner or affiliate then increase your bitrate and resolution, if not then it's not worth it since you don't have Twitch Transcoding.
You can read NVIDIA NVENC OBS Guide regarding Look-ahead, Preset max quality and Psycho Visual Tuning. These will help you with pixels, but they increase GPU utilization.
Every streamer has pixels no matter what games they stream especially if those are fast-paced like PUBG, Apex, Warzone, etc. if you play them, then stream in 1600x900 with 6k bitrate.
