Question / Help Best 4K settings for the R9 Fury X?

[Ducktor]

I've been trying to get into OBS for about a year now, jumping in and out without success, but now I feel like it's time to really get it to work.

So basically what I want to do is to record at 4K 60FPS without too much of a performance impact or quality impact. And yes, I am aware that the Fury X isn't considered a 4K beast, but all the rumors about it being a "crap card" for it is just a myth. It handles games really well at 4K and it's not the performance I'm having issues with, it's the video output.

I'm very new to OBS in terms of settings, not really sure what to test and what does what (even though most settings does have a brief explanation, really doesn't say much), so I'll just dump a video example and an imgur album of my recording settings (not really into streaming).

The video was rendered in Adobe Premiere, but the quality is the same. This was to ensure that Youtube didn't change the resolution or framerate (it tends to do that if the bitrate drops too much).

Full Specs:

* CPU: i7-4790K (4.6GHz)

* GPU: R9 Fury X (1050MHz)

* RAM: Corsair Vengeance 16GB DDR3 (2400MHz)

* OS: Windows 10 Pro 64bit

If your goal was to use HW encoding, the Fury card is not capable of encoding 4k at 60 fps, the best it manages is 47 fps. For software encoding, you might get lucky if you use CQP/CRF lossless instead of CBR/VBR - it does still take a significant chunk of CPU.

That's unfortunate, I'll try my luck with CQP.
Is there something else in my settings I should change to hopefully get more performance without sacrificing quality?

Thanks for the help, and the VCE implementation.
