If you're trying to stream a desktop with text on it, scaling is going to produce blur. Stream at native resolution at a lower framerate.

No. I was saying that if your content is not a game, but desktop content (text) then the scaling will definitely make it blurry.

I'm not sure what you mean by "grainy".

Your log doesn't contain a streaming session so I can't judge performance or see settings like your bitrate.

That may be caused by scaling. If you want text to be sharp without any softening, play the game at the same resolution as OBS' canvas resolution. So either play and stream in 1080 or play and stream in 720.

You could also try adding a Sharpen filter to your capture.
