Stream Quality - POOR STREAM QUALITY - OK PC/CONNECTION?

[FaytePrydwen]

When I stream on YouTube or Twitch (partner) the quality seems bad when there is any movement at all - text goes blurry, the whole scene goes blurry honestly. The game I stream is an old MMO where there's a relative amount of camera panning during gameplay but it is not GPU or CPU intensive. I'm not super techy or anything so I was wondering if anyone could help me. I've tried following loads of YouTube video "guides" and reddit suggestions and trialed myself, although I could be missing something obvious?

Tried the NVIDIA recommended stream settings for YouTube from their website on output mode "simple"

Connection
1 gig fibre - 100MB upload (ethernet cable)

Basic hardware
AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 8-Core Processor
2070 Super
80 Gig Ram(ish) - same speed etc

My canvas is 1440p - output aim is 1080p - tried x264 and NVENC at 4500 bitrate - 18000 bitrate with varied tuning/multipass modes and outputting at 720p at 30/60 and 1080 at 30/60 fps
Best outcome so far is in the video below at OBS ran as administrator, 9000 bitrate, NVENC, two passes, 60fps

To add recording offline quality is never an issue at 50000 bitrate (obviously it's offline and probably has no relevance but I thought I'd mention it)

Thanks in advance! Let me know if there's any other info that might be useful!

This is normal during high motion scenes with the transcoding done by YouTube and the bitrate restrictions of Twitch.

I took the stream settings from the first link and updated the stream key - then whacked the bitrate up to 50000. I think it does look better now!

50,000 kbps is overkill for this game, 25,000 kbps is more than enough.
