Recording in 1080p in games even though its a low res?
Recording in 1080p in games even though its a low res?
is it possible to record games in 1080p even though game itself is in 1280x720 or 1440x900? or my final recorded raw video will have messed up res? I'd like to play in low res to reduce the temps however I still like to have a sharp nice crispy video in 1080p, is this possible? I own a 1080p screen of course and my recording software have the 1080p record option. Thanks in advance
Here’s a rewritten version of the text:
The quality of your recordings on platforms like YouTube is limited by the resolution you're recording at. You can’t record in a higher resolution than what your screen displays. For example, if you're playing a game at 1440p using DSR (Dynamic Super Resolution), your recordings will be limited to 1080p.
A common reason why some YouTube videos appear blurry is that YouTube doesn’t allocate a high enough bitrate when converting from higher resolutions like 1080p. Videos recorded in 1440p often receive significantly more bitrate, allowing them to look sharper on the platform.
To capture text differently, here’s a rewritten version of the provided text:
Maximizing video quality for recording on platforms like YouTube involves understanding resolution limitations. You can’t record at a higher resolution than your display allows; if you play a game at 1440p using DSR (Dynamic Super Resolution), your recordings will be limited to that lower resolution. This is because the recording process always defaults to the output of your monitor.
A common issue is why high-resolution videos appear blurry on YouTube – this is due to YouTube’s restricted bitrate allocation for 1080p streams. They provide significantly less bandwidth to 1440p videos compared to their pixel density, often just 3-4 times the amount.
To combat this, I utilize a 1080p capture with a higher bitrate – typically between 20,000 and 30,000 (adjusted based on game detail and speed). I then resize the video to 1440p while compressing it using Avidemux’s two-pass Average Bitrate compression.
For example, in *Ghost Recon Wildlands* (GRW), where ground foliage is densely detailed, I use a 30,000 bitrate to avoid blur during fast movement. Even in games with heavy glare filters disabled and fog, like *The Evil Within*, a 20,000-bitrate capture maintains sharpness due to the slower pace of gameplay and less intricate texture detail. The most noticeable difference is seen while driving in GRW, particularly when escaping. Viewing these videos fullscreen at their maximum resolution (not auto) will best highlight the distinctions.
