These settings will only work with a monitor running 2560x1440 and NVENC New compatible GPU's. I suggest starting a recording on an SSD, then on another drive, and comparing the results, this will show if the storage location makes any difference. Make sure that your drive has a write speed higher than the video MB/s output, or it should cause problems with the video.
THIS IS A VERY GOOD OUTPUT FOR THE QUALITY PRODUCED. This equation will tell you the average of how many megabytes per second the video was recorded in. The equation for MB/s is as follows (GB*1024)/(MINUTES*60+SECONDS) = mb/s. I recorded 25 minutes and 15 seconds of gameplay and the file ended up taking up 5.27 GB of storage.
#STREAMLABS OBS RECORDING SETTINGS MP4#
Recording Format: mkv (Best file extension to avoid corrupted mp4 files). Output (Scaled) Res: 2560x1440 (Which means no downscaling, larger file sizes, but it doesnt have to go through the downscale filter, saving a little cpu%). Recording storage entity (Where is the recording stored): HDD 7200RPM. MSI RTX 2080 ti (only base overclock, since overclock makes some games unstable). Read it carefully, since I spent many hours researching different stuff so I could understand it. Here are the settings, and since I'm personally tired of people posting half of their settings, I'll make a dummy proof version. The quality turned out being really high, while the storage space remained low. After several hours of testing I came to a conclusion.
