Well, for the last decade+, I have been running an AMD machine which finally kicked the bucket, (AMD 1090T Black Edition CPU with an AMD R9 390X DD GPU). Now, my new machine I have an AMD Ryzen 7 5800x CPU and an MSI Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070, and now running Nvidia which I haven't touched since the GeForce 6600 GT I had back in 2004-ish time, I am not really sure on the settings that I should use to get the best overall quality to the stream while having good gaming experience. I have looked up and unfortunately, all I have found is mixed answers, and not many of them.

So, if anyone has any thoughts, should I use the NVENC H.264 @ preset to Max Quality, or the x264 with the CPU usage preset at something like medium. I am streaming and gaming from the same machine, so that does need to be taken into account. Games that will be streamed are games like PUBG, GTA V, Armored Warfare, Assassin's Creed games, ect...
