hi so i stream black desert online and there's a decent number of effects going off and camera movement. But there are streamers like Choice who stream at 1080p and their gameplay maintains pretty good quality (well above mine) when fighting a lot of people and effects and movement etc is all happening.
However I have tried: a base canvas + output of 1080:1080, 1080:936, 1440p:936, with bitrates starting from 4500 all the way up to 7000 (with ignore recommendations set) and messed around with P5-P7 quality, Look Ahead On and B Frames 0/2/4, and Keyframe to 1 or 2.
Every. single. change. looks the exact same to my eyes, I can't make any difference except it being more aliased/jaggy at 1440:936, and the motion quality being worse when 1080:1080, even at 6500 bitrate.
An example would be this: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2055415092?t=0h0m4s recording which was done at 1080:1080, 6500 bitrate, P5, Two Passes (Full Res) 1 Keyframe Interval, B-Frame 2 vs this one: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2055414104?t=0h0m4s which was done with P7, Look Ahead & B Frame 4. 1080:1080 is by far the worst looking stream when it comes to movement quality.
Then there's a number of other short streams in past broadcast where I was messing around with settings each try... Nothing seems to work or improve anything, no matter what I do the quality in any movement is horrenduous.
