Sorry for all the questions, I'm trying to get a good grasp.Ĭlick to expand.Thanks a lot Harold! I will set the CQP 15 and I will start using. General consensus on that seems to be 2, but I'm not too keen on the mechanics of the setting (plus they were all talking about streaming). Should I change the value? It's currently at 2.Įdit: Oh and the keyframe interval.
Should I switch to VBR/CBR? Does it make much of a difference? What about other settings on the page? I've read around the forums, general consensus seems to be profile main for compatibility, level auto (which I'm unsure what it's for), gpu well depends on what your setup is (mine would be 0), but nothing consistent about b-frames. You mentioned NVEnc on HQ preset, do you use variable or constant bitrate? I was using CQP at like 20ish if I'm not mistaken, with defaults on the rest (meaning: I was not setting a bitrate value). I'm trying to get the absolute best quality source recording while minimizing impact, so I'll try the 50Mbps and see how that goes. I have an ssd but I don't record on it, I have a WD Caviar Blue.Ĭlick to expand.I meant 50 k as in thousand (of kbits), since you put in 50000 in OBS I guess I'm too used to old MMOs where you use k or kk to define amounts of currency, my bad ahah.
#Quicksync vs x264 obs upgrade
My specs (which I'm going to upgrade sometime soon): If I have missed a PSA or general thread for this please redirect me there. What would be the best out of the three encoding options for this kind of games? What about those semi-demanding to demanding games though? Overwatch, CS:GO (which, for whatever reason, gives me choppy videos while Overwatch doesn't), GTA V etc. I could just go with x264 at like medium and be done with it (Hearthstone, retro gaming in general). For non-demanding games, this is a non-issue.
#Quicksync vs x264 obs 1080p
I have a youtube channel where I usually upload 1080p 60 fps videos, unless it's a demanding game and I can't run it at that resolution while recording (Overwatch for example is very much on that border). I haven't found someone asking for high bitrate local recordings though. I noticed a lot of people were praising x264 for streams where bitrates are generally low, because it's the best looking at low bitrates. I have been using OBS for a while, and also been trying x264 and NVENC.
