FIrst to test my stream quality I do recordings "Same as Stream".
I'll give a list of my PC Spec and OBS Studio settings.
PC Specs:
PRIME H310M-A R2.0 Motherboard, Windows 10 Pro, i7-8700k 3.70Ghz 6 Cores 12 threads, an MSI Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080, 32GB RAM, 500GB Samsung EVO SSD + 2 other HDDs [one where my games are].
OBS Studio:
Output: Simple [Doesn't do much when using advanced settings], 4500kbps Nvenc (Although using software makes 0 difference), 160 Audio bitrate, Ticked Advanced encoder settings, Ticked Enforce streaming service bitrate limits, Encoder preset doesn't change quality much at all if on Max Quality or Performance, Custom encoder settings is on 1.
Video: 1080p on both canvas and scaled, downscale doesn't matter on this I heard, FPS is 60 [My monitor is 60hz].
No idea why my quality looks so bad. When recordings are not set to "Same as stream", it's perfect. But obviously I'm going for stream quality.
