The blocking during motion is simply due to low bitrate and a bright colorful source.

You have transcoding/quality options on Twitch, if you have the upload bandwidth you should consider using up to Twitch's max of 6000

hey i tried also with 6000 upload but still blured

Set your base canvas resolution to 1920x1080 since that is the resolution of your monitor. You're not making use of the downscale filter because you are setting your canvas resolution to 720p. For 720p@60fps I would also recommend 6000 bitrate if you have the upload speed for it.

Your test stream is too short, you only encoded a few seconds of video. Do a five minute or longer test of high motion video (not just standing around with almost nothing moving). And post that log file. Preferably after you've made the changes suggested here.

Start with a reasonable x264 Preset, like Faster, and move your way slower as it proves it can handle it. Don't start with Slow and hope it works. Go easy to establish a baseline of what works, and then get harder to find out what breaks it.

OBS requires a real GPU, and the Quadro 2000 you have frankly isn't good enough. Even for x264 software encoding OBS requires a GTX type GPU, not a GT and not a Quadro. I recommend a GTX 750/950/1050 [Ti optional] as the least expensive card you can buy new today, if you get one used, go with a GTX 560 or better. Or the AMD equivalent to one of those.

You're using the KillerNIC port on your motherboard. The KillerNIC "optimizations" often break OBS, so try to use one of the non-KillerNIC ports on your motherboard.

And of course also do what was already suggested with the base canvas and downscale.

You're only forgiven for your bad English if you don't live in Paris :P
