Question / Help Help please GTX 1050

[xXDanXx]

When I use OBS it gives this very dark and low quality look to the recording. Could you give some very specific settings for my GTX 1050 please. I have a high end computer and these are the settings I am using right now https://gist.github.com/d77d5c9b3d55e0ba780ad512ffcb6d6a

For high-quality, no fuss recordings, use the recording quality presets under Settings > Output when in Simple output mode. In the recording section, change the Recording Quality to Indistinguishable Quality, and then select your encoder.

what does custom muxer settings mean?

It means you shouldn't mess with it if you don't understand what it's for.

I don't want to sound rude with that, but it's an option for advanced users. Look up x264 encoding options if you want to learn more.

Please post a log that shows a recording attempt. There is no way the recording presets are bad quality.

I'm not sure if this will help but change the downscale filter to lanczos (I know you're not downscaling but just set it to that to see if it makes a difference) but more importantly don't use CBR for recording with H.264, it will produce fine quality (as the video you posted demonstrates, I feel like the quality looks pretty good) but using the CQP rate control with a value of anywhere between 12-17 makes for some really high quality recordings with (IMO) much better edge retention. Try using 17 to start and then decrease downwards until you find a point where you like it, however don't go below 12 unless you have massive hard drive reserves for your files to sit until you are done with them. Hope that helps! +)

I'll try but I'm switching to Bandicam as it works better with my computer it has easier settings lower file sizes and better quality. Thanks for trying to help me though!

I'm confused how you could think that is be "bad quality"

It's never going to look exactly how it looks on your screen.

I agree it does look good, I believe he is talking about the edges of objects specifically distant ones. They are already fantastic but i feel like CQP would yield slightly sharper results with a low enough number.
