On obs studio u have to choose a filter, even if i'm not downscale/upscale. Then maybe i selected it but not using it at all? I heard lanczos not much better
Good x264 settings (May 2020 update 2)

that's upscaling/downscaling filter, make sure you record resolution is same as output resolution, it's in the settings-video tab, in your case both are supposed to be 1920x1080 (the filter process will be ignored then)
You,can also change recording fps on there, that's why I asked you does Twitch allow you to record in 57fps lol
-
Yes I have the same resolution on both then should be fine. Anyway twitch support (officially) only 25,30,50 and 60 fps. But i think i can try 57 anyway. A lot of people streaming in 900p or even in 936p, then i think i can do everything.

speed improvement, I've fixed an error on merange, tuned some other parameters, and added more presets
Dear iAvoe, hello,
just found that thread, was googling for about a week trying to figure out the best settings.
May I kindly ask you to assist me also?
Having a hard times streaming Division 2 to youtube on hi-end PC.
NVENC just gives me pixeled frame - horrible - tried with max setting both highest preset (max) quality and low-latency quality presets...
now x264 is better, but still somehow soapy in general (when moving, standing still picture is perfect)
Division 2 has tons and tons of post processing particles crazy amounts volumetric fog and of vegetation everywhere
PC specs:Ryzen 9 3950x
64gigs of 3600 RAM2x2K IPS color calibrated monitors with 120Hz Gsync enabled
2xRTX3070 (tried to dedicate second single GPU for NVENC - does nothing in terms of quality)
Internet connection 500Mbps symmetric (having a consistent 50Mbps egress stream is absolutely not an issue, unless streaming service supports that)
Division 2 game settings:
FPS limit 60
Vsync ON
2k resolution
full screen
(game capture window scaled down manually to fit FHD OBS scene canvas size)
OBS settings (latest ver as of feb 2021)Video:
resolution FHD
FPS 57
Advanced:
DX11
Color NV12
Color Space 709
Color Range Full
TCP pacing enabled
Network optimization enabled
Output:
x264 codec
VBRbitrate 9000
Buffer 3500
CRF 20
Keyframes 2
CPU preset faster
Profile none
Tune none
options:
me=umh subme=10 chroma_me=0 bframes=5 b-adapt=1 ref=3 aq-mode=0 aq-strength=1.1 deblock=0:0 trellis=2 direct=temporal cabac=1 me_range=14 nr=25 mbtree=0 no-fast-pskip=1
That's the custom options I've ended up with after reading this thread,
could you kindly review that and advise?
I have also tried crazy bitrates like 45K on NVENC youtube gets that but it doesn't improve visual quality whatsoever.
Funny thing as if i just record the video locally with the very same encoding settings the quality is very acceptable playing it locally, but watching the stream in real time it's very pixilated and blured, lots lots worse than local recording quality... Not sure what is my issue... there are no network congestion or dropped frames due to network (in OBS status) and light is always green...
Streaming to twitch with the same settings is a LOT better in terms of quality... may be I'm doing something wrong with youtube? Still maybe it's possible to get better encoding quality with my specs...
Thanks in advance,

Hello!
I am planning to encode x264.
My basic settings
NVIDIA Geforce gtx 1060
Format profile : High@L4.1
480p - 1080p
The output file must be compatible with modern media players, such as Dune HD.
Container: mp4, mkv
Strategy - Constant quantizer
Quantizer - 16
Max GOP size - 250
Please help with a few questions:
1. Where I can see in the encoded log file SSIM and PSNR values?
2. How I can set vbv-maxrate?
3. Which values I should put in the
QP value for I, P, B-frames?
They are unchecked by default. With these settings
the encoded file is very large and has a very high bitrate.
