i felt like this belonged here rather than it being in the social media section with the tag twitch

long story short, i used to stream like a year ago with good quality, my stream was never pixelated. but now i started again and now it gets pixelated every once in a while. i noticed it because i watch the VODs to make sure everything is ok. Im still on the same set up, i just cant figure out whats going on.

My system specs:
ryzen 1600x
GTX 1060
16gb ram

My stream output settings in obs:
encoder: x264
rate control 4500 kbs
keyframe interval: 1
cpu usage: super fast
profile: none
tune: none
x264 options: opencl=true

--SOME NOTES--
-ive tried 5000 and 6000 kbs as my bit rate and either it still gets pixelated or it fluctuates in the range of 4000-7100 kbs which then makes my stream choppy

-i have also tried NVIDIA NVENC but i still get the same results

anything you guys see that would maybe make my stream not pixelate? thanks in advance

What resolution are you streaming in and what is your internet upload speed?

Test that here. speedtest.net/

Try streaming in 720p@60fps.
