I've been trying to record some footage of Baldur's Gate 3 and, admittedly, the game has never looked super crisp, but it looks pretty darn muddy in the recordings versus what I see when I'm actually playing the game. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I've been playing around with the game settings to try and improve the visual quality of the game, which I have, but so far I haven't been able to actually translate that to better recording quality.
Following the advice of some videos I've seen online, I've changed my Output settings to CQP with a CQ level of 15 and Tuning set to the highest quality but, again, the recordings have improved somewhat, but still nowhere near what I see from other BG3 videos on Youtube. Here are some sample videos I've recorded to see how they would look in fullscreen, and they just look kind of blurry.

And this is a video with my Output settings set to CBR with my bitrate at 20k.

I would appreciate any help. I haven't ruled out a hardware bottleneck, but I wouldn't know how to identify that. It looks like that last video has better quality, BG3 character models always look at least a little muddy to me, but I'm curious if anyone has any ideas.
