Hello!

Just wanted to ask if you guys recommend that I record with NVENC H.264 NEW or with x264.

CPU: Ryzen 9 5900x
GPU: 3070 Vision
Ram: 32GB 3600mhz Corsair Vengeance

Should I also keep Visual Tuning and Look Ahead on or off.
This is for recording at the moment.

Thank You!
 
NVENC. Tools > Auto-Configuration Wizard
Look-ahead allows the encoder to dynamically select the number of B-Frames, between 0 and the number of B-Frames you specify. B-frames are great because they increase image quality, but they consume a lot of your available bitrate (you should use CQP for recording so bitrate is not an issue), so they reduce quality on high motion content. Look-ahead enables the best of both worlds. This feature is CUDA accelerated; toggle this off if your GPU utilization is high to ensure a smooth recording.
Psycho Visual Tuning enables the Rate Distortion Optimization in the encoder, which greatly optimizes the way you use bitrate (not sure exactly how this works with CQP, possibly same quality at lower bitrate), improving image quality on movement. This feature is also CUDA accelerated.

If you're using something that uses the GPU, such as games, don't enable those. It depends on your source.

Thanks for your help! So far I set my setting at CQP:

CQ LVL: 15
Keyframe: 2
Preset: Max Quality
Profile: High
Look Ahead: Off (ATM)
Visual Tuning: On
B Frames: 2

Im currently recording videos such as World of Tanks and like Valorant. Not sure if I should change anything, it seems okay so far!
Ty!
