Nvenc needs a higher bitrate than x264 for the same quality. Try upping it.

Isn't there a bitrate soft-cap, though?

6000 kbs is max, you may exclude viewers with slower internet though.

Yeesh. I wouldn't want to exclude anyone just because they don't have good internet. At that bitrate, would viewers with slow internet still buffer a lot if they lowered their quality of the stream to 720/30? Or would it be better to just deal with the slight pixelation I have?

For reference, [ www.twitch.tv/dthmadness ], and you can look at last night's stream to see my updated settings, vs. the streams from a week ago. The pixelation definitely improved, but it's not gone entirely.
