Hey there, so i've been trying for months to improve my stream quality on Youtube but it simply does not work the way i imagined it.
My problem is that my stream looks way too pixelated for the hardware and settings i use. Here's just a random timestamp from a random stream: https://www.youtube.com/live/KgyTSP_xTYk?si=wz8AY1eiCBYhTK-J&t=2299
The game at moments looks sharp and cripsy (could be my ingame filters tho) and at other moments it's a fully pixelated mess that looks even worse than some 1080p 6k bitrate twitch streams, even tho im streaming 1440P with 30k Bitrate. An even bigger problem is my webcam. It gets totally blurry to the point you could think i'm streaming that thing in 144p and i get that this happens when there is high motion or grass/snow particles but it's that bad most of the time and shouldn't considering my streaming settings.
I'm running a 7800x3d with 7900 XTX Red Devil.
I'll be attaching a picture of my current streaming settings.
The AMF settings are these: EnableVBAQ=false EnablePreAnalysis=true PASceneChangeDetectionEnable=false
because i read that those allow you to use the HQCBR setting.
To the encoder settings:
I've done several test streams trying out CBR vs HQCBR, high quality preset vs speed preset, with and without several different AMF/FFMPEG Options but it only changed some minor details (which could've also been there because of different youtube compression).
I have also tested things with color range, audio bitrate settings and "ignore streaming service setting recommendations"
At this point, i just don't know what the problem could be anymore. I refuse to believe that the AMD AMF AV1 is just soooo much worse than nvenc (even tho everyone says it's a pretty good step up and only minimally behind nvenc). In my believe, a Youtube VP9 1440P 30k Bitrate AV1 Stream should definitely look better than some other twitch Streams.
Hopefully, some of you hyper-intelligent folk out there can help me with this one. Cheers ;D
