Question / Help OBS Studio vs Shadowplay recording NVENC H.264 vs x264

[Alcast]

Hello, I used to record with Shadowplay, but now that I swapped over to OBS Studio (which is freaking awesomo) I would love to do everything there. I saw some old thread, but it was outdated, maybe someone can help me here?
However, I could yet not replicate the quality of my recording in OBS Studio from Shadowplay. Shadowplay is using the NVENC encoder, as it provides you basically no loss in FPS. So I would like to use the NVENC encoder aswell in OBS Studio.

1. Is it possible to achieve the same quality?
2. What kind of settings do I need?

Shadowplay is by default using a bitrate of 50MBit/s, which basically is the maximum blu-ray quality (official specs are 48MBit/s I believe).

Wonderful, thanks! It worked, file size seems to be lower but the quality is almost as good as with shadowplay. So you will not see any difference on Youtube. Thanks!
