Specs:
Intel Core i5 7600K @ 4,3GHz
MSI GTX 1060 6GB
MSI Z270-A PRO (MS-7A71) 1.0
16 GB Corsair DDR4
230 GB SATA III
500 GB SATA II
400 Watt Corsair Vengeance

I'm streaming via NVENC, because my CPU can't handle it, not even 720p @60fps.

OBS Settings:

It's all german but I think you guys can figure out what everything means.

My connection is:
400Mbps down, 25Mbps up

Played games are csgo and pubg.

So my problem: When I do fast movements ingame, especially in csgo, my picture gets extremly blury.
I'll post a link down below so you guys can see what I'm talking about. Look especially at the crosshair when I move fast, it kinda fades away.

Is there any way to get rid of that blur?

I tested everything out for hours, my CPU definitely can't handle it so I have to stream via GPU. Also everything below 1080 (720 for example) looks very bad so I kind of wanna stay with it.

Thank you very much in advance.

6500kbps isn't enough even for proper 1080@60 on x264 Veryfast, much less NVENC which is much worse quality compression.
Scale it back. A lot. Deal with downscaling to 720p. Getting lost chasing numbers will do you no favors, even if you're ready to spend out a few thousand on a much stronger system that'd be capable of streaming at the settings you're trying to run.

720p looks such much worse than 1080p, at least on my system it's a huge quality difference. Do you really think I'd lose much viewer nowadays with those settings?
I just tested 720p out again and I've to say I wouldn't watch even 5 minutes of that quality as a viewer. And it doesn't solve my problem with that blury image either.

Getting lost blindly chasing numbers will lose a lot more viewers than finding a good compromise point.
Running a ridiculously high bitrate without transcodes to mitigate the sharply reduced accessibility will lose a lot more viewers. Especially when your system isn't really up to the task. From checking your broadcast history, you're also trying to stream games that are so ridiculously oversaturated, getting any viewers whatsoever is more a matter of sheer random luck.

Scale it back. Not only the settings, but the expectations. You will not be able to deliver perfect video quality under any circumstances, and your hardware is going to require making more compromises due to having to use NVENC instead of software x264. And stop running 60fps. It's just a total waste of bandwidth even if you weren't already having to chuck bitrate at the problem to make up for poor quality hardware compression.
