Question / Help Poor Quality (Semi-Blurry Stream) 720p @ 60 fps

My main problem is just as the title says. I used to run at 720p @ 25 fps and the quality looked amazing (although the lower fps was noticeable). I'm now trying to stream at 60 fps but am getting somewhat blurry images, especially when there is a lot of movement on the screen (MMO raids). Also, when I look at my replays on Twitch, sometimes it doesn't quite look like 60 fps. I am getting zero performance in the actual game window...zero fps drops that I can notice. I feel like my system can handle these settings flawlessly so I just want to be sure there isn't anything I can change. Log is below.

Thanks for any and all help!

Depends on the game and motion. More motion requires more bitrate, though usually it's fine. You have a video perhaps?

Well, as you said your system seems to be handling things flawlessly. You can start experimenting with lowering the x264 preset for some extra quality to help out, but keep in mind it may exponentially increase system load.

FFXIV is a pretty high-motion game, which is always hard to make look good with the kind of compression you need in order to stream. I recommend lowering to 30fps to spread bit rate around more efficiently, and if you can afford to increase bit rate, do so. You might be able to lower your x264 preset to faster, too, which should help.
