Recordings look very blurry

[duggie126]

I didnt know where to put this but ever since I built my new gaming PC I have tried recording gameplay. After watching back my gameplay, it looked very blurry which I know is actually pixelation. I'm pretty sure it doesn't have anything to do with the recording software because I have tried recording with OBS, Fraps, Bandicam, and I have even tried using my Elgato HD60. All of these came with the same result: bluriness. I've watched countless videos for each software to find the best settings. I'm also pretty sure its not a hardware issue because im running an MSI gtx 1070, i7 6700k @ 4.00 GHz, and 16 gb RAM clocked at 2400 mhz. Please help me with this situation. Thanks.

You can try OBS since it's free:

And here's how to set it up for local recordings, as well as use multiple audio tracks if you desire.

And to set it up for Twitch:

It's almost certainly a software/settings issue.

It may even be your video player that you're using the watch them, try another one like VLC player:

The settings above should come out at least this good looking:
