since i got the upgrade and have 40 mB/s in up i was wondering if i can improve the streaming quality since it doesnt really look that good when theres fast movement, theres pixelation whenever theres fast movement on the stream

The nature of FPS games is that they are high motion, and honestly you can't expect them to have perpetual pristine quality. You can try bumping bit rate up to 3500, if you can afford it, and if you have the extra CPU to spare, perhaps consider dropping down your preset to faster and see if you can handle it.

Also, I recommend using CBR to make your stream easier for viewers to watch so that your bandwidth won't spike everywhere as much.

An extra 500 bitrate and downscaling again to 720p will really help you out here. I don't recommend 864p60fps for FPS games unless you are really willing to go up to 4000 bitrate and beyond, and you start seriously running into viewer problems at that point.

That's just something you're going to have to live with. You'll never get rid of pixelation in a livestreaming environment.
