This video was so useful!! I was having problems with the bitrate, but now my video looks super crisp and clear!! 😁

I've watched multiple videos and you are one of the best teachers! Excellent tutorial: nice pace, used visual demos while explaining what to do. More importantly, you explained what the functionality does, gave use case examples and made recommendations based on everyone's computer performance, budget, etc. Thank you!

My man, you're an absolute legend. I can't thank you enough honestly, I nearly switched to Streamlabs, can't even explain how lost I was... Everything works great with the 1080p preset!

[SkeLexTor]

Hey, Creative Lead of Valheim at Iron Gate studio, just needed to say hey, you showing off Valheim. I was looking for good settings for recording gameplay, and then you show off some Valheim, I was happy! Keep up the good work!

[videogameworlds]

Thanks for this. I'll go with your recommended settings for my next video (I just got the Ultra 2.1 capture card from AverMedia and can't wait to see what it can do).

I love the video and settings! I change the mp4 back to mkv with remux to mp4 cause I couldn't move through my videos to skip to the good parts.

[noggsvlogs]

Great tutorial. Explained to perfection. Thank you.

[MarkHevingham]

What a great video, not only was it easy to follow but you explained WHY we were setting things which is very rare. Thank you!

[VALxTheEpicGamer]

YES, i learned a LOT watching this video... i also have a high-end PC powered by AMD rx7900xtx video card... and i also use OBS Studio, v29.1.3, but i am fairly new to streaming and uploading videos.. after playing around with OBS, i figured the best recording settings for my hardware are: AMD HW AV1, ffmpeg AAC, and encoder settings: Rate Control - CQP with CQ Level 14 on a BALANCED preset... everything else is what you suggested in this video... i don't have the "Psycho Visual Tunning" option available... i almost got the RTX4090 myself, but in the end i chose to save $700 by getting the rx7900xtx card... the differences between these two cards were not worth $700 to me...

[iqpandasofficial]

Holy shit this helped so much thanks so much for the amazing tutorial <3

[nastavnikmuzickog]
