0. In many cases, wireless connections can cause issues because of their unstable nature. Streaming really requires a stable connection. Often wireless connections are fine, but if you have problems, the first troubleshooting step would be to switch to wired. We highly recommend streaming on wired connections.
1. To ensure that OBS Studio has the hardware resources it needs for realtime streaming and recording, we recommend disabling the "Game DVR Background Recording" feature via these instructions.
2. In Windows 10 versions 1809 and newer, we recommend that "Game Mode" be enabled for maximum gaming performance. Game Mode can be enabled via the Windows 10 "Settings" app, under Gaming > Game Mode
3. If recording, record to FLV or MKV.

Streaming in 1080p 6000kbps gives completely fine stream quality, but when I downscale to 720p at 5000kbps, it becomes extremely blurry.

Also I heard that it's better to disable game mode to ensure that the obs stream is stable.

Downscaling will always incur a quality loss. In some cases, a significant one. This is expected.

As noted by qhobbes, In Windows 10 versions 1809 and newer it's best to leave it on. Older versions of Windows it caused problems. You're running on old information.
