Recording question / Settings for best quality

[schwaBAM 200]

I have a rather good machine (newly upgraded).

 

What would the best in game resolution be along with the best output settings for Afterburner to obtain the best quality video?

 

My monitor is 10:16 ratio

 

What resolution should I use in game?

What output settings should I use 16:9? 16:10?

 

 

If more information on my hardware is needed, please let me know.

 

**Edit: What resolution/aspect ratio would be best for youtube videos?

 

 

Thanks!

Did you transpose the number in your third paragraph?

 

10:16 would be a 16:10 display turned 90° to display say legal sized forms on a full screen without scrolling, screen ratios are (width):(height).

 

You want your ratios to match or else you get the funhouse mirror effect with things being stretched.

Err, yeah.. I meant 16:10.  

 

I'm curious what resolution I should run the game at (I think I can pretty much run at ANY resolution with my new rig).  So combine that with what specific output ratio I should use on my video recorder.. what should I use for the output settings?

I'm running old junk so someone correct me if I'm wrong but I think you should be able to record higher resolution than your display can possibly show at the same ratio if it doesn't impact your games performance.

 

Is your screen hot shit like 4k or is it  a cheapo 720 tv like I use?

It's a Dell 3007WFP

So acorrding to google it's 2560X1600px that's the best you'll ever see it on that screen. You may be able to set your game at say 5120X3200px and record it so someone with a display that has more pixels can see it better than you.

 

Not sure what the point would be aside maybe editing it doing pan and scan to focus on action and a bigger file size for your video, 1600 pixels tall is pretty crispy if you're just going to record and upload.

I hear you.  I am basically asking for the best settings for the "output" for my video recording software.  I use MSI Afterburner and it does not match my resolution but it uses output settings like 16:10 or 16:9, etc.

 

If I had the game running at 2560x1600, then what setting should I use for my output?  What ratio?

Set it to16:10 and it should record in the quality you are seeing it at.

Thanks.  Hopefully that works.
