Blurry even with lossless quality

[caifeng]

I have tried every combination of 30/60 fps, CBR from 10k to 100k, CQP from 1 to 25, H.265 to H.264 but the end product always is coming out blurry. I tried viewing it from VLC instead of windows media. Any help is welcome.

Here is my log:

No rendering or encoding lag but try running your monitor @ 120HZ & make a few changes to your encoding settings. Since B Frames are the lowest quality frame type, get rid of them.

One other thing I checked was the Nvidia driver you have installed, saw lots of performance issues with it. Might be a good idea to update, the current driver seems to be working fine. (552.44)

I forgot to mention the YouTube Scene, there's a Game & Display capture in there. One has to go.

Thank you. I updated my driver and went through all the steps listed above. While retesting I realized something incredibly stupid. Apparently if one doesn't view the video in full screen mode in VLC the video will look "blurry". Viewing the videos in full screen seemed to have fixed the issue.

Best to avoid scaling but that's weird, I don't have that issue with VLC. Playback looks great at any size on my system.
