Shitty Quality On OBS for PC Recording

Hey everyone, I'm hoping that you'll be able to help me out here.

I've recently been trying to record PC games on OBS however I'm finding that the quality of my game footage is, in lack of better terms, shit.
I tried recording with an Elgato HD 60S+ but I was having a lot of issues with using the device for my PC ( It's a long story and I tried a lot of troubleshooting so please don't suggest that I switch to it unless it's an emergency / the only viable option ) To give you an example of said quality please refer to this image here;

The footage is like this, very choppy, not at all in HD as the game itself is in. When I look to OBS on my second screen the footage itself is fine and okay. I have an AMD Ryzen 7 3800X and an RTX 2060, My current settings for OBS are as follows;

I hope that you're able to help me as this is a frustrating issue, also please be kind as I don't 100% understand all of the settings so there's a high chance that it's something incredibly obvious that I've missed, if there's any questions or more information you need please let me know. Also as a general note, I need to be able to save it as an MP4 ( or something that can be opened in premiere pro ) where I can access both audio tracks.

Also not sure if it's relevant but here is my last log file.



Thank you for the help!

2500kbps is not nearly bitrate for the resolution and FPS you are recording at.

I recommend the following:

1) Run OBS as admin;

2) You don't have a scene with only fullscreen camera so downscale it to, at least, 720p or maybe 480p, depending on the size it actually occupies on your screen;

3) Use NVENC encoder, CQP rate control set somewhere between 16-20 (lower value = superior image fidelity at the cost of filesize), Quality preset, Look-ahead and Psycho Visual Tuning disabled;

4) Save file as .mkv then, when recording session is done, on main OBS window, click on File --> Remux recordings to change container to .mp4.

Personally I don't like your use of profanity in your post..
