I've been bashing my head over this for days doing hundreds of test recordings so please let me know if this is just a given or I'm looking over something.
I recently set up a 2nd pc for streaming, recording and off loading my work but something I've noticed that no matter what settings, drivers and encoders I use or combination of the 3, the colors of games look off by the tiniest amount. I've done all the advice I could find in this forum looked at so many videos and wonder if this is to be expected of doing dual pc setups. I'm running my RTX 3070 to an elgato 4k 60 pro while using x264 medium preset and have tried both the advance tabs color options to both limited and partial and vice versa along with changing the equivalent settings in my monitor. To be fair this is only noticeable if barely on my main monitor which is a qd-oled(AW3423DW) which is pretty nutty for scoping out colors and the smallest changes so this also could be me becoming 100% schizophrenic since on every other monitor and device you could never tell the difference. But again I have to re iterate I've gone through every nook and cranny I can thing of.
Something I did notice that when I tried obs on just 1 pc and recorded directly with game capture the colors where fine.
1. Disabled HDR 2. Changed from partial to limited and vise versa 3. Changed encoders 4. Changed pcie slot for elgato 5. swapped monitors 6. did every color format and space setting and combination. 7 changed settings in elgato properties 8. changed HDMI color range and EDID Input
I'll be putting in links logs and everything else that could aid me to a solution down below if I even need one at this point. Also I used davinci resolve to get the color scope and info
2 games I've been testing with are Zenless zone zero and Minecraft, in the zenlesss zone zero gameplay if you take a screen shot at the loading menu before combat and use whatever program you have the feature an eye drop tool or some way to record or display color data the "black" menu reads as R1 B1 G1, not all 0 which would be what its actually being displayed to me as I play. I even cross referenced this to other streams on both YouTube and twitch the notice other streamers getting the correct color black. another tangible moment in the recording is if you take a screen shot of the character menu that features the tapes going up and down. depending on the combination of settings would read as R5 B0 G0 or R4 B0 G1 where in realties it should display R9 B0 G0. In Minecraft I only uploaded 2 screen shots one of my actually game and recorded game. The big iffy in this one is on the far right the lighting is lightly to dark in the recording especially if you compare it with what the torch illuminates against the wall.

This is "A" set of settings that for the most part replicates the closest to what I actually see while gaming there's another config that I discovered for the most part replicates the same problem just done slightly differently that I could post more about but this should hopefully be enough for something. That or I'm legit going crazy and never should have bought an oled ;)
