Sam and i spent around 2 hours trying to solve this, although it did a bit of help with the blurriness running on different settings but did not really avoid the blurriness completely.I will upload a new log with the settings you recommended @FerretBomb
Question / Help Streaming at 1280x720 Blurry!
- Thread starter iskonei

Here is my new log: https://gist.github.com/7fa141a0e56c590eeb04
[Changes I have done]
No custom x264 preset.
x264 preset encoding to "medium"
Running on 2500kps bitrate.
Here is the VOD for those settings and that log: http://www.twitch.tv/iskonei/v/26256933

@iskonei
so lets break this down for you. same bitrate 720@60 vs 720@30. 60fps gives you smoother motion yet less bitrate per pixel since you are now doubling your frames that OBS could be spending on each frame. 30fps gives you twice the quality over 60fps per frame, period.
That being said, use 30fps for now until you get transcoding or eventually realize that its not necessary for a good stream.
Lastly, earlier @FerretBomb told you to use your native resolution in OBS under the video tab. expect blurriness if it isn't set to 2560x1440. Either that or set your game's resolution to 1920x1080 to avoid black bars at the bottom and blurry text. this isn't great for you, but is a sacrifice you might have to make for streaming.

If not using 1080p... 720p is half of 1440p so it will downscale/resize smoothly if set right. Maybe to lower OBS GPU usage (more FPS for game) try setting OBS base resolution to 720p and just don't downscale, then shrink/resize the game capture to fit the entire obs. Game capture and most other sources use bilinear which is fast.
This allows more FPS for games, may improve tiny text, but probably won't make a difference on blurry grass.

Also not a good idea. a good comparison would be using optical vs digital zoom on a camera. optical being from source to down-scaling. digital zoom can be compared to just setting the base resolution at anything else
