You're still on the intel. You need it to be on the nvidia.

You're still on the intel. You need it to be on the nvidia.

How do I switch to nvidia? Do I have to follow the guide again?

Set the scaled output resolution to match your base resolution.

Yay! Its no longer blurry but when I went to look back at the recording I realized its not giving off the best fps. It gets a little choppy at times and when i look at my other videos they are a little choppy. https://gist.github.com/3302c8c12384817dc6a5396212f37c2f log if you need it.
