How am I supposed to stream CSGO ?

[Titix™]

I did that, suggested settings https://stream.twitch.tv/encoding/, but it's still very pixelated

Same for CSS.

Help please :(

3600 + RTX 2060 seems to me that best call would be Nvenc encoding option. It's a very small performance penalty, less than 5%. x264 may hit your PC more, especially if you change games as 3600 is not too rich with cores.

Bandwidth is the most important one for stream quality, that depends on your upload rate.

I would suggest trying 720p60fps stream if your upload is not very high.
Or some other options, higher resolution does not mean better quality - it's the bandwidth that ultimately decides on your quality.
So balancing resolution may help.

But you need to see where it's stable and does not swing too much, if upload rate is not jumping too much and going in red then you are stable. If it's jumping you need to reduce it.
Upload is not constant anyway but big swings of like 1mb up and down are signs of unstable performance.

Playing via same internet can effect it's stability when you are pushing it to the max so note that. As well as other PC's on the network.

Probably bad connection then, it's still pixelated a lot.

But my bandwith is bit bettter than average

what's your bitrate setting in output? what resolution? nvenc or x264?

4500 is solid, not enough for 1080p stream.

Try 720p settings in Video settings in OBS.
Set Output (Scaled) Resolution to 720p, Canvas resolution is fine at 1080p.
IF Nvenc allows you then try changing downscale filter to one with more samples. It helps the quality.
I cannot remember if Nvenc allows that, I do not have Nvidia GPU in my streaming rig.

Yeah it still pixelate but not laggy :/

Good quality only if I don't move lol

I tried with my 4G, it work better, better quality but still some drops

edit : seems to be okay now (not very good quality but not laggy)

3400kb/s

When i had vdsl2 with 4mbps upload my stream was very pixelated, with fiber its crystal clear

my internet is 20/4 and 3400 is as good as I can push it for stable upload.

It has nothing to do with connection type but bitrate stability of it.

If you are pushing bitrate into unstable then you ruin quality.

Sometines its not fluid and not stable....

It was with 4G, adsl I just have 400 kb/s x) so....

PC should be fine but sounds to me like your upload speed isn't good enough.

I stream almost all games on a 4500/5000k bitrate 720p and it looks fine for most game, no pixels, no blurr.
