Hi,

This is probably a simple issue and I am doing something wrong, my regular default screen resolution is 2560 x 1440. I am trying to record CSGO gameplay, not stream. It has been working well but I want to up my quality to 1080p, instead of down scaling it to 720p in OBS, then, I would upload it to youtube. Unfortunately there was no way to downscale it to such size (1080p), so I opened CSGO and changed the resolution to 1920x1080, and changed the capture OBS resolution to that as well, thinking that should solve the issue.

Unfortunately that did not seem to work, and now some of the bottom right is cut off. I am not sure how to fix this and could use some help.

Thanks!

yeah you did it right, in fact, you dont really have to change the resolution of the game, just doing that last step in OBS will work. the only thing left to do is to go into the capture source for CS:GO (game capture and double click). then select stretch image to screen

Thanks for the fast reply! I will test it out and let you know how it goes; but I also have one more question.

I own a NVIDIA card with shadowplay, would you recommend I use the NVIDIA setting for encoding, the NVENC? I am currently just using the default one.

I am wondering if this will make it smoother then it already is.

if you are having stuttering, then yes, use shadowplay, but shadowplay can indroduce stuttering as well, but test and find out. the quality you'll get for the bitrate is decently close but x264 will always win.

Alright, I put my CSGO resolution back to its default and kept the OBS resolution at 1080, and enabled stretch mode (assuming this is what you meant: http://prntscr.com/7fwmn2 ) and I am still getting the same error as before.
