I have an odd issue here. I use a 1440p144 G-Sync monitor to game on. Looks and runs great, but 2K is not very standard compared to 1080p or 2160p. As such, I decided to start a playthrough on a new game and run it in 1920x1080 and cap it at 60fps so I can record the gameplay, edit out pauses and such, and upload a video that will appear crisp on a 1K or 4K TV/monitor/whatever. I set my canvas and output resolution to 1920x1080 and set the fps to the common 60 value. I then recorded just over seven minutes of video to test with.
When playing back the video in WMP, VLC, or the Movies app in 10, there is a black border on the left and top of the video, leaving a lot of the video cut off. My guess is that the GPU (RTX 3080 Ti) is still sending a 2560x1440 signal out and the game is centered in that output somehow, despite it being fullscreen on my monitor. I have OBS set to capture any fullscreen application, and the game has no borders anywhere, so I am a tad confused. Specs are below, but I am not having encoding issues or anything, just this one.
i9-11900K
64GB DDR4
RTX 3080 Ti
2TB WD Blue SATA HDD (OS on a 256GB partition, the rest is for long-term storage as D: drive)
Two 1TB WD Black SATA HDD in BTRFS RAID0 (Older games, recording videos before they get moved to the other drive)
2TB WD Black NVME PCIE4 (New/demanding games like Cyberpunk, Ark, etc)
3 1TB WD Black NVME PCIE3 in BTRFS RAID0 (Newer games)
Windows 10 Pro 64bit
Dell S2416DG 1440p144 monitor (DisplayPort)
Razer Tiamat 7.1 headset/mic
Nothing else should matter much. I DO use VoiceMeeter Potato and I downmix the 7.1 audio to individual 2-channel audio for OBS to capture. This way I can enjoy surround sound but my video is standard 2-channel. This gives me no issues.
