I have a Issue I cannot seem to diagnose or solve. In short, my recordings have this certain pixelation to it, its most visible in contrasted areas, but it is everywhere, looking very similiar to aliasing in videogames.
Side by side, I have two screenshots taken from the game "Ultrakill" Left screenshot is of my recording done through obs in Cybergrind, while the Right one is a screenshot from within the game. Visible is when up close, pixelation, which is only present on the Left Image, most notably red SSadisctic text, in areas with less contrast, such as the "Stale: 0.50x" text, it causes mild blur. This has been taken on OBS's "lossless quality, themenodous file size" setting in simple output mode. it is present regardless of ANY settings. it is akin to a pixelation filter, but not anything I did.
I have tried to:
1. Change output quality, switching recording quality to different, Switching encoders, switching file formats. No change
2. Downscale to 720p in hopes of erasing this issue, no change, visually still present.,
3. Using NVidia's tools i rendered the game at 4K and recorded at 4k, then downscaled to 1080p, minor change, however still visible.(was under the impression that 4k downscaling would help fix issues)
my Video tab settings are:
Base Canvas resolution: 1920x1080
Output Resolution: 1920x1080
Downscale filter: none
Common FPS value: 60.
My output tab settings -> Simple mode:
recording quality: Lossless
Recording format: Matroska .mkv
Video Encoder: Nvenc
No further changes.
These settings were used to capture the footage and subsequently the image of Screenshot 1, on left.
Normally I use advanced mode:
Format: Matroska
Encoder: Nvenc NVIDIA
Encoder settings: -> rate control to CQP, level 18, 0s keyfram interval. Preset P7, tuning high quality, Multipass mode with two passes full resolution.Y
profile main
gpu + Max Bframes 0
Look ahead + psycho visual tuning disabled.
My process priority is set to high. and I record on my main monitor, Samsung LC27RG50, 1080p monitor with 240hz refreshrate.
ADDITIONALLY:
Dropped frames/Stuttering of a recording.
Since this is local recording and not stream, the initial red warning note is not applicable, but even then I kept it in mind.
my recording often stutters, this is most common on high speed games LIKE Ultrakill, but not exclusive, it happens with minecraft, fortnite, terraria aswell.
My computer specs:
RTX 2060,both for gaming and recording sadly.
Ryzen 5 3600.
16gb of ddr4 ram, 2800mhz
M.2 NVME samsung 980 ssd, 500gb, but I have 140gb spared for recording.
my main concern is this pixelation effect since, even on some older laptops this isnt visible.
This seems almost exclusive to me, as I have not seen a single instance of this problem.
What do I do to fix this?
PS, this is not low bitrate artefacting, (i think) these are not big juicy blurred blocks.
