Thank you trying this right now to see if it helped!

 

[AdventureGaming+]

Didn't seem to help should I post another log? or could it just be the resolution of my monitor?

 

[Sapiens]

If it didn't help then you didn't follow the instructions. Feel free to post a log and we can point out what you did wrong.

 

[AdventureGaming+]

Alright thanks ill look at the instructions again. My log is in the link

How are you checking the quality? The locally recorded file should look pretty great at crf=15. If you're uploading it to Youtube and watching there it won't look as good because it will be re-encoded. It will also take time for Youtube to process all of the different resolutions, so initially it may only show up as something like 360p or 480p. You do have some duplicate frames in that log file which means your GPU was probably maxing out running Fallout 4, so consider turning down some of the game details. OBS needs a bit of GPU power for scene compositing, and things can get choppy when the GPU is maxed out.

Alright thanks!

im checking the quality on YouTube and I'm checking it right away. So if the settings didn't help and I let the YouTube video render and sit so it came up with all the video qualities for it what could be the problem? My PC? Who could I ask to figure it out?

 

[AdventureGaming+]

And yes the locally recorded file looks AMAZING crisp and clean but once I upload to YouTube it doesn't seem to be so great........?

 

[Sapiens]

Wait for Youtube to finish processing it, then change the quality there.

Alright thanks
