Best Picture With Mac When Recording

After being fairly happy with my OBS settings, I tried recording a game this weekend, that just looked horrendous , so I'm back to the drawing board as far as settings go.

I have a 2020 i9 MacBook Pro. I've just been playing COD and noticed the CPU was never going over 16% 60FPS, so it seems I have room to manoeuvre .

My CRF is currently at 17, CPU Superfast.

Is there anything I can do to improve my picture?

I imagine bringing the CRF down will result in jerky movement, so not sure if `I'm stuck with what I have till I can buy a decent PC for recording.

The MBP is great for other things, especially for my work as a photographer, but not so much for recording games.

Obviously it looks like I could alter my CPU speed , but I didn't think that affected picture quality?

If there's anything else I could do I'd love to know.

Couple of things I forgot to mention.

I'm recording from a PS5

My monitor is 3840x2160

Base + Output set at 1920x1080

Please let me know if that's wrong.
