Question / Help Pixely Streams means a whole lot of no

[FonziBear]

I have been streaming to Twitch for like two weeks or so and in some games such as Rust or Team Fortress 2 the stream gets a bit pixely, I'm wondering if there is any fix to that.
My PC Specs are:
OS:
Windows 7 64bit
GPU:
EVGA GeForce GTX 650 1024MB
CPU:
Intel Core i5-4570
PSU:
Cooler Master eXtreme Power Plus 500W
RAM:
Kingston Technology HyperX Blu 8GB 1333MHz DDR3

My OBS settings and internet speed below

Either downscale to 540p or raise your bit rate to at least 2000kbps (if you can do that without dropping frames)

My monitor resolution is 1440x900
What resolution do you recommend, or what custom, I also play in windows because of custom

I'm not sure I follow...my recommendation was 540p (960x540).

The reason your stream is "pixely" is because your bit rate is not high enough to make 720p look good. Thus, the solution is to either raise your bit rate, or lower your resolution.

I'll mess around with it and see if i could handle 2000 bps, thanks
