Best possible recording quality I can get?

Using CQB right now, not sure if I should change anything
Hardware:
GTX 1080
Ryzen 5900x
32 gigs of ram

I'm using CQB Level 15 and preset P5, but may try P6 again because for some reason it started to stutter and idk why was fine bfor.
Tuning: High quality
Multipass mode: one pass
profile: high
look ahead: false
psycho visual: true
GPU: 0
MAX B Frame: 2
keyframe: 2

Anything I should change?

You're not going to be able to improve anything to any noticeable level, and will not gain quality by increasing the preset.

About the Quality preset (P1-P7): This will not actually change the visible quality for recording. Internally, it enables/disables encoder features that affect compression efficiency, which results in larger or smaller file size. For streaming, higher compression efficiency means less bandwidth requirement, which means indirectly higher quality. However, for recording (and CQP is a recording rate control) a few megabytes more doesn't matter at all. For the sake of recording, your disk size is infinite. So even if you set P1, you will not see any quality difference if you use CQP - you will only see the recording file becoming slightly larger. Slightly larger - not double or triple as you might think.

The higher you set the P preset, the more load is put on the encoder, so the more danger of overload issues. So don't set it higher than the recommended size. Setting it lower also lowers the chance of encoder overload, so lowering it might actually increase quality by avoiding skipping frames.

oh so maybe I should put it to P1?

Ok so I set it to P1 since like you said it doesnt directly affect anything visually, also how could i upscale 1080p to 1440p because i want to use vp09 encoder because youtube compresses too much. I'm not sure if i should upscale on obs or just render and upscale video

About CQB, 14 should be fine right? Going to guess going lower doesnt matter

That number tells the encoder how much detail to throw away. Lower discards less, for better quality and a bigger file. Past about 17 or so, most people won't notice, but it's still throwing away a fair amount.

okay and the preset doesnt affect quality so putting it on p1 is good

so I think everyone is fine like p1 just increases file size which idc about and im not too sure about max b-frames but i turned it off and single pass
