Hello everyone, I want to make Videos for Youtube and I would like to use OBS for this.
I watched some Videos on Youtube about how to configurate OBS. I often used the settings they suggested in their Videos. But still I have low Quality in my recorded Videos and on youtube I can only upload them on 480p which is really low.
Here is a demonstration about my recoreded Videos:

Here are my settings in OBS:

I have a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 videocard and Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4790 CPU @3.60 GHZ
And this is my monitor (if its even neccessary for recording): https://www.amazon.de/Samsung-Syncmaster-Monitor-widescreen-Kontrast/dp/B000SOD6HW

I know this is a lot of stuff but I would be very thankful if someone could help me to make great Youtube Videos! If there are any questions or more details you want to know please feel free to ask for it!

Thank you

Change your output mode to simple, recording quality to indistinguishable, encoder to software low cpu use and format to flv.

Change your output resolution to match your base resolution.

Hey thank you for the quick advice! Any suggestions about the bitrate ?
I just tested your suggestions and I must give you a huge "thank you"! Its way better than before :) it could still be better but I think this is quite a good configuration to start with

You don't need to set a btirate with the settings I gave you. The encoder chooses a bitrate based on the quality target, frame rate and resolution.
