Streaming PS4 games on OBS and getting some pixelation/blurriness when movement is involved

Hi everyone. I want to know if there is a best way to eliminate the pixelation or blur process whenever I'm trying to stream games from my ps4 from capture card.
I have a laptop that has 8 GB RAM, Ryzen 5 3500u with Vega 8 integrated graphics. I've tried pretty much every settings and I'm still getting the same results. I even tried to downscaling the video to 720p and made the filter bicubic, it didn't work. I'm not sure what to do at this point

is this because of my laptop specs that's causing this issue?

Would appreciate if you guys help me with this problem

Pixelation is expected on fast motion and low bitrates.
Run the Auto-configuration Wizard (tools menu) and apply the settings it gives. Do not change them.
Please restart OBS (yes, it's important to restart it here) and perform a test stream of at least 30 seconds (the more the merrier) doing as you normally do, including playing games, full camera or whatever you normally do.
Now look inside Help menu. Upload the current log file and paste the url to the log in here. Click on the Analize button to start troubleshooting common issues.

It's working fine. The pixelation is normal. In order to get even less pixelation you need a new computer (desktop) with better and newer CPU and GPU (specially a GPU). And it will be less, not gone.
A way to reduce it in your case is lowering the output resolution, so you have more pixels drawn with the same kbps. Setting the kbps even highermay cause other issues but you can try. Remember, this only makes the pixelation less agresive but is stil there when you move. It's normal and expected.
