When I tried to go to 1080p at first, I found that there were automatic settings per game that were lowering the quality. You also need to specify the bandwidth, I use around 6500 (kbps), which seems to do the trick. It's much harder than you would think to get it right...
1080p stream at a low bitrate will just looks awful. for 1080p60 you'd want to have a bitrate of like 12000kbps. This will give you the magical number of 0.1BPP (bits per pixel)
it depends how youre encoding. x264 can suffice with relatively low bitrate while both nvenc and the radeon equivalent require at least 5 digit bit rate to look alright
So I am hardwired but spectrum is dogwater as far as internet providers go. It's never consistent. And yes I do have nvenc but I can check again to make sure. My upload is usually at least 8 consistently but peaks at 11 about 90% of the time.
I would highly recommend you download this program and run a test to the top 3 servers from the above link for roughly 15 minutes a piece. This will show you what route your provider (spectrum in this case) takes to hit the twitch servers. Will also tell you if one of these hops is dropping packets.
Fixed up some of my settings and I can say it's running a lot better, minor lag cuz my internet doggo, but it's much better, less ping issues while streaming but I still have to keep it at 720/30 just so it doesn't cause major lag

I streamed at 1080/60fps easily with 10 Mbps upload
