Question / Help Record is not sharp

Hello,
i have a problem with my obs studio record. After the record is finished, it isnt as sharp as it should be.
My settings are:
Format: MP4
Bitrate: 30000 to 150000 (no differenz)
Codierer: x264 and NVENC H.264 (no differenz)
Monitor Solution: 1920x1080
Video Solution: 1920x1080
FPS: 60
I read many forum threads in here but there was no fitting fix.
In the pictures can you see that the ingame Questlog is pretty sharp and the record Questlog isnt that good.
Do you have any suggestions?

Regards,
Paiten

Saving directly to mp4 is very much NOT recommended
Using a CBR number for recording is also not recommended.

Settings - Output
Output mode: Simple
Recording Quality: Indistinguishable
Recording format: FLV
Recording encoder: Software (x264 low cpu use preset)

In settings - advanced make sure the color format is NV12 and the color range is PARTIAL.
 
Thank you Harold.
I did as you say but the new one looks equal. Do you have any other ideas?
Yesterday i tried Action! and Bandicam. The footage was like the game, but this programs have poor mikrophone setting options and i dont want to use them.
Could there be a way, to use magix video to sharpen the flv file up?

What media player are you checking your recordings with?
And post a log from the session where you used the settings I gave you.
 
The Screenshots from the first post are showing different aspect ratios.
First attachment (sharp): 1.920px × 1.017 pixels
Second attachment (not so sharp): 1920x1080 pixels

So it seems, that WoW is not running in 1920x1080, maybe it is window mode, where some pixels from the top or bottom bar are reducing ingame resolution. OBS is stretching this footage back to 1920x1080 and that's why it is loosing sharpness.

Try to run WoW in fullscreen mode with 1920x1080 and record with game_capture as a source.
It should look sharp then.
 
The media player is cyberlink power dvd.
A log was unnecessary, but i would have show you one. :)
BK.Morpheus was right. I ran WoW in windowed mode. Now i tried the recording in fullscreen and windowed fullscreen and it worked out very well. Sorry that i didnt tried this yesterday :(
Thank you both for your help!
