Question / Help Videos Are Very Grainy, Despite Bitrate

Hello everyone, I am having quite a serious issue w.th OBS Studio. The videos that I record are ALWAYS, and I mean ALWAYS incredibly grainy, despite what bitrate I choose to record in. Here are my computer specs and recording settings:

- AMD FX™-8350 Eight-Core Processor x 1
- NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB (GP106) @ 253 MHz x 1
- Gigabyte 970A-DS3P Motherboard w/ AM3+ sockets

Recording with the following settings:

- Resolution: 1920x1080
- Format: MP4
- Encoder: NVENC H.264
- Constant Bitrate
- Bitrate: 15000
- High Quality Preset
- High Profile
- One-Pass Encoding

The videos that I record always seem to be incredibly grainy, especially when turning. I've even tried recording in something rediculous like 100000 bitrate and it STILL looks like it is being recorded in something like 1000 or even lower. I don't know what else to do. I can include a sample if you wish, and can also provide any more information that may be required.

Restricting your bitrate wasn't helping you. Using CQP allows the encoder to choose the bitrate for you.
