Recording coming out blurry and never had problem in past

[captainploo]

Hello!
So, I have been having some trouble with OBS. So, I stream to Twitch, and the VOD on their website always looks crisp and clear, but the moment I export the VOD from their site, it is always blurry and pixelated on YouTube.

So, I thought to record using OBS and stream and then upload the video saved to my computer. Well, the recording that is saved to my PC is also pixelated and blurry.

I think I have maxed out the settings, but I might be missing something. When I played VALORANT about two or three years ago, I never had a problem with my recordings, and recently within a year, I recorded overwatch and also didn't have blurry or pixelated video. I am wondering if I missed a setting or if there is something causing this that I may have overlooked.

Help would be much appreciated, I want to keep using OBS, but just been having some trouble.

I will try to include as much info as possible and I will take some screenshots below.

I am also running at 240hz at 1080p and here are some of my specs below:
GPU: RTX 3090TI STRIX AOC
CPU: Ryzen 9 9950X
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 128 GB
Motherboard: MSI MEG X870E GODLIKE EATX AM5
Storage: 5x Samsung SSD 980 Pro 2TB

Thank you,
- Ploo

You need to record a separate stream in CQP 20 at 2048x1152 60 fps. Don't ask me how it works, it's too long to explain, but I guarantee high quality on YouTube.

Switch to NVENC H.264 instead of HEVC.

Twitch does not recode VODs. The quality you have on your stream is exactly the same in VOD.

I am heading to bed now cause it's 3 am, but will try this in the morning. How would I go about setting it to 2048x1152 in CQP 20? or does switching to NVENC H.264 already do that?

I figured out how to set it to CQP 20, but still need help setting it to 2048x1152

Just tested it out and the recording is so much better! I couldn't set it to 2048x1152, but I tested it on The Finals just now and the recording is just BUSSIN
